About me

I am a warm and caring but direct Therapist who believes in human potential. I am licensed in California and previously worked for County Behavioral Health with children, teens and adults. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as Applied Behavior Analysis. My current areas of focus are in helping clients with past trauma and abuse; including ways they can improve their self-esteem, anxiety, and self-efficacy. I also enjoy helping couples improve their communication skills. I believe there is a strong body/mind connection and I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling, balanced and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Anne Holding. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

From the very first session, I felt heard, understood, and supported in a way that I hadn’t experienced before. Annie had an incredible ability to create a safe and nonjudgmental space, allowing me to open up about even the most difficult topics.

What I appreciate most is her thoughtful approach—rather than just offering generic advice, She really listened and provided insights that help me understand my patterns and navigate my emotions more effectively. Her guidance has been instrumental in helping me work through my family’s challenges and I’ve gained so much clarity and emotional resilience because of our sessions.

Thank you,
