Are you or your child struggling with overwhelming worries and fears that seem to be present no matter what you do? Maybe it started off small, but the problems have just grown over time until they are starting to take over your daily life. You may find yourself doing different little things to try to manage the worry or reassure yourself, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Maybe you have even tried therapy before but have had difficulty finding someone who really seems to get you and understand what you need. If this sounds like you or your family, we are here to help.

Living a satisfying and fulfilling life is in large part dependent on the quality of our relationships both with ourselves and those around us. Our greatest joys and woes are often experienced within the context of our relationships. If there are areas in your life where you are experiencing distress I believe I can help. I am committed to creating a safe and supportive environment where together we can work to increase awareness and better understand patterns, themes, thoughts, feelings and behaviors that are causing distress.

“Therapy only works when we have a genuine desire to know ourselves as we are, not as we would like to be”. Shiizakana. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist, and in the last six years, I have been focusing on helping clients through their healing and self-discovery journey. After working with Active-Duty service members, my practice evolved from general mental wellness to trauma-focused therapy with an emphasis on disorders comorbid to it. I treat teenagers, children, and adults ages 7 to 65. Our first sessions will consist of a biopsychosocial assessment that will allow us to build rapport.

My name is Ann Holabird and I've been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) for 18 years. Although my practice is based in Pasadena, California, I work with clients all across the state via telehealth. Throughout my years as a therapist, I've worked with many populations and addressed many mental health conditions. In working with telehealth, however, I've found that teens through older adults adapt best to the teletherapy format. Similarly, certain presenting problems are more effectively treated via video than others.

We strive to live our best lives, enjoy good experiences, and become content when we reflect on our past adventures. However, we often feel lost or disappointed when we are faced with obstacles. When we feel that moving forward has become more of a challenge and stress, anxiety and depression are holding us back; professional help is required to help maintain our foundation to allow us to move forward.
