Anne Paulsen

Welcome! I’m Anne, a NYU trained licensed social worker dedicated to supporting individuals and couples through life’s challenges with compassion, evidence-based techniques, and a deep respect for each person’s unique journey. My approach is rooted in a trauma-informed, psychodynamic framework, with a focus on helping you understand your past to make meaningful changes in your present.

I work with a diverse range of clients, including individuals navigating the complexities of LGBTQIA+ identities, as well as those experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma. I also have a particular passion for supporting couples in building healthy, resilient relationships using methods such as The Gottman Method, and Sex & Intimacy therapy. In my practice, I integrate various therapeutic modalities to create a personalized experience for each client which include: Psychodynamic Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care, Creative Arts Therapy, Ecotherapy, DBT, CBT, The Gottman Method, and Sex & Intimacy Therapy.

As a member of the LGBTQIA+, I am deeply committed to creating a welcoming, inclusive space where you can explore your identity and experiences without judgment. It is my priority to ensure that clients feel understood, respected, and empowered in therapy. Outside of my clinical work, I am actively engaged in macro social work initiatives, researching and advocating for ways to give back to the LGBTQIA+ community and promote positive societal change.

Whether you are seeking support with personal growth, overcoming challenges in your relationships, or processing past trauma, I am here to walk alongside you in your healing journey. My goal is to help you find balance, peace, and a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships.

I look forward to connecting with you and working together to achieve your therapeutic goals.
