My approach is highly individual and wholistic: combining clinical knowledge, deep listening skills, classic life coaching and alternative healing modalities most conducive to YOUR individual process, needs and your best work mode.
As Doctor of Clinical Psychology and Master of Spiritual Psychology, I am combining a larger spiritual perspective with clinical insight and life skill oriented pragmatism. Crisis is opportunity. We facilitate transition into your greater potential by calling forth your inherent resources. Healing comes first, so coaching the mind can become maximally efficient. Your growth in awareness can shift formerly 'unseen inner mechanics' - unresolved pain, limiting beliefs etc. Setting dormant energy and creativity free lets you experience ease in every day living and helps you create harmonious relationships with Self and the world.

Everyone has a story to tell, to share, and to shape. Let's discuss your story. Our work together will be a journey of exploring the source of your distress and how to alleviate it. I like to use a combination of cognitive-behavioral techniques for faster results--and a more in-depth process (if needed, and if so desired) to explore lifelong issues to identify triggers and obstacles throughout lifespan development. Working together, we can find ways to unlock whatever it is that creates negative experiences and feelings in your life. The goal? Free yourself to live the life you want. annsaxon.com

Because life can be very #EwwwDavid.
If you’re looking for a therapist who is basically David Rose meets early-00’s Britney (with a dash of Drag Race & a pinch of recycled WeHo go-go boy,) you’ve clicked on the right profile. But please don’t let my humor undercut the reverence & respect I have for the therapeutic process. Self-empowerment, radical acceptance & authentic human connection will be the cornerstone of our work. I utilize strength-based, affirmative & neuroscientific theory to guide us...but healing doesn't happen via theory. It lies in you -- your hopes, hardships, successes & infinite wisdom. Sometimes we'll laugh. Often, we'll cry. But either way...

Do you wake up feeling depressed dreading to get through another day? Do you try to fill the void in your life with sensation-seeking behaviors: alcohol, drugs, food, sex, shopping, TV, video games, internet surfing, online gaming, gambling etc.?
Have you lost touch with the aspirations and dreams that used to motivate and inspire you? Are your relationships troubled?

Seeking therapy takes courage and the prospect of talking to a stranger can be intimidating. I relate to the discomfort you may experience and provide a confidential, non-judgmental, supportive space to work with you.

By combining the wisdom of the psyche and the wisdom of the body, new options for meaningful life and relationships can come into awareness.
Depression, anxiety, loss, and change can leave us feeling disconnected, confused. It seems to me that we're all trying to be connected in ways that support our intentions and goals. Sometimes those connections - to our Self, our partners, our family and friends - get muddy or lost. I see therapy as a safe place to explore unfamiliar, at times uncomfortable, territory in order to reach for greater understanding and connection to Self and others. My approach is humanistic/existential with an emphasis on depth and transpersonal psychology.

My doctoral dissertation was on "The Relation between the Interior Life and Art.
I have years of experience counseling both individuals and couples. My clients gain insight, heal from trauma, find ways to communicate and remain in long-term committed relationships, and are better able to realize their life goals. Areas of specialization include issues relating to anxiety and depression. My work with grief includes healing from the loss of loved ones, divorce, job change, and changes brought by illness. I enjoy helping people envision a fulfilling retirement and to embrace change. I teach breathing and meditation as ways of lifting depression, managing anxiety, and finding peace.

At Boulevard Therapy, we believe that life is a journey, and that we often benefit sharing our journey with someone who can help us to navigate life's unexpected or unfamiliar territories. Often the journey can become more difficult when we are overwhelmed with life's stress and challenges, leaving us feeling immobilized, out of control, confused, and/or in despair. Sometimes another perspective is beneficial as we navigate these paths.

Asking for help from another person can be hard, but I see it as a sign of strength. Whether you have reached a point of crisis in your life or are simply looking for a safe space to explore your inner world, I want to help. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relationship issues, or are feeling stuck and frustrated by painful patterns that keep repeating in your life. Perhaps the vulnerable parts that have been kept hidden in the dark are ready to come out into the light.

Life Coaching Therapists
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.
Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.
Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.
How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
