Anne Marie Haugen, LMFT
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

I center my approach on an unwavering commitment to clients, emphasizing warmth, compassion, positivity, and empathy, which fosters quick and meaningful connections. My primary goal is to offer client a safe space to learn, grow and experience life in more positive and healthy ways, while cultivating the desired changes that bring them into therapy. 

I enjoy positively helping couples with their relationships. Being trusted with the opportunity to help them get along better, communicate better, and last long term is one of the experiences I find so rewarding in my work. 

With individuals I like to help them find the answers they are looking for, delving into the past to find the connection to today’s reactivity and behaviors. 

I work to create a secure space for clients to explore the dynamics of their relationships, and situations actively engaging with both individuals and couples to unravel how their past experiences influence their present and future.

Experience

In my role as a therapist, I have built relationships with clients by balancing empathy, humor, and empowerment. When working with clients, I focus on being present- seeking a deeper understanding of the struggles bringing them to therapy, and helping them identify and create a path forward I prioritize creating a safe space in the therapy room for individuals, couples, and families of diverse backgrounds to feel safe, supported and heard.

I enjoy supporting clients in learning about themselves to better assist them in growing into the healthiest versions of themselves.  I have found that I am able to spark change with adults in a way that assists and empowers them. My extensive experience as a couples and family therapist has provided me with ample knowledge and several tools to share with future clients. In my work I enjoy assisting clients in reaching their goals, to have happier and healthier relationships with themselves and others.
