Welcome to my psychotherapy practice in Seattle!
I offer psychotherapy and counseling services to individuals and couples at my Green Lake office. I use common counseling techniques combined with newly invented, mindfulness based approaches to help you.
Issues like experiencing emotional abuse, or having problems with anger management require specialized treatment from someone who has training in that area. I have 15 years of experience working as an emotional abuse counselor and also specializing in anger management.
Together we can work to improve your life, from being in conflict in your relationship, feeling depressed and anxious or feeling stuck or feeling that life has become a rut and all activities are a chore.
I practice AEDP or Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy. It is a most effective type of therapy that offers a very thorough and often quick way of dealing with problems that have been around for a long time.
Some of the services I offer include emotional abuse counseling for relationships, as well as anger management counseling.
You can learn more about me and the services I offer on the About Me page. You are also welcome to call me at 206.442-2001 or email me at annakmeyer80@gmail.com. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have.

Welcome to my Practice
ANGER MANAGEMENT
(Anger between intimate partners)
Help with emotional and verbal abuse
I worked for 14 years in the court system with people who were required to take classes because they were verbally, emotionally or even physically abusive to the people they loved. Now that I am in private practice I specialize in working with people who commit verbal and emotional acts of violence against their partners. They are often told by their partner that they need to change or they will end up alone. I also see people who themselves dislike their own behavior and would like to learn new ways to interact with their partner and find ways to build true closeness and intimacy. Emotional abuse and anger management problems can severely undermine any relationship.
The work we do together helps people see the way they have learned these destructive behaviors. It is usually at home or from their peers. Then we work on discovering ways to to find new ways to behave and communicate thoughts and feelings BEFORE one gets so angry that mean things come out. Finding ways of better self expression and self control can be a very rewarding journey for most people
I also work with the victims of this kind of abuse. Being verbally and emotionally abused for years takes a huge toll on the person on the receiving end. Their self-image, self-esteem is frequently in ruins by the time they are able to leave the relationship. There is often the experience of confusion about what exactly happened to them, because their partner always blames them for every single fight and conflict in the relationship and they often feel "crazy" due to the many mind-games their partner had played on them. It is also difficult to face the fact that they had been in an abusive relationship. People often associate the word "abuse" with only physical violence. Then, realizing that what had happened to them is no less harmful and damaging and that it actually, legally fits the definition of "domestic Violence" can be shocking to many people.
The work we do together is letting go of the blame they have been carrying as it had been assigned to them by their partner from the beginning of the relationship. Once the actual dynamic of an abusive relationship is explained and understood by victims it becomes much easier to recover the self esteem that was once theirs.
