Annaken Toews is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Colorado who has been practicing since 2020. Annaken believes in the power our bodies hold to heal from adversity and the idea that trauma is the effect of having an overwhelming experience in the absence of a supportive witness. Annaken uses somatic approaches to help clients harness their innate, biological capacity to heal using a bottom-up approach, rather than traditional talk therapy. Clients gain awareness of their own capacities to address ineffective thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that enables them to live fuller, more satisfying lives.

"I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become." In today's world, people can be ambushed by any number of experiences that can leave us drained, exhausted, and feeling like it's hard to move forward. Counseling can be an outlet for individuals to sort through what they're feeling, and get perspective, and assistance, and most of all, a certainty that someone is listening; that your voice is being heard.

Whether seeking individual, relational, or family therapy, I believe we are all multi-storied beings who contain many parts-none of which are bad. Along the way, we collect stories-stories that others tell about us, stories we tell about ourselves, the story we tell about the problem, and stories we inherit from dominant knowledge or culture. These narratives shape our perception of ourselves and others and can influence relational connection and the way we relate to our own self, which often contributes to why one might seek out therapy.

Accepting new clients. Do you feel like you’re alone, even around friends and loved ones? Unable to express your feelings or pretending to have meaningful relationships? Do you struggle to convey ideas at work or feel misunderstood? How we connect with others has a huge impact on our lives. Especially the relationship with yourself. Who are you? What do you want? How do you talk to yourself? Communication, both expressing thoughts and feelings and understanding what others are saying, is complicated and can lead to breakdowns in relationships or not understanding yourself.

How are you functioning in your life? In your relationships? Are you joyful, confident, optimistic? Or are you feeling stuck, sad, frustrated, or lonely? Relationships are the primary force in our lives; without healthy relationships our lives suffer. Because relationships are so important, the way we attach to others is within those relationships, and how we create healthy attachments is extremely important. What I work toward is healthier relationships for my clients; relationship with self as well as with others. In our work together it will be our relationship that provides a safe place from which to explore change.

Have you or your child tried traditional talk therapy but found the approach didn't quite hit home? Sometimes we have to take a more creative approach to life's challenges. Maybe you or your child are experiencing anxiety, going through a life change, experiencing loss, or difficulties at school or work. You are looking for a new approach and way to gain insight into life's problems, or support for your child as they navigate experiences through their own lens. Perhaps you have a strong connection with animals, and understand how they positively affect your life. If so, you have come to the right place!

By providing a caring, compassionate, and free space to express past traumas, disruptive thought patterns, and confusing life circumstances, I create a meaningful and tailored healing experience for each client. Through counseling, clients can begin to experience the power behind their own convictions and step into a position of power over their own internal landscape. I believe in dismantling oppressive systems and harmful patterns within individual's lives through meaningful and powerful therapeutic intervention.

If you identify as a narcissist then you’re in the right place. I help narcissists liberate themselves from enmeshment. Enmeshment is what happens when one either violates someone else's boundaries or fails to enforce their own boundaries. Enmeshment is the way that one attempts to get one's attachment needs met in one's life. Attachment needs represent what one gets in one's relationships. This includes all relationships such as romantic partnerships, work, family, or in other groups.
