Ann Duval, LPCC, understands that meaningful relationships are at the heart of deep satisfaction, joy, passion, and pleasure. She believes that the foundation of trust is essential for fostering connections with others. Clients may find themselves facing troubling patterns in their relationships, where communication leads to frustration and the closeness they desire feels out of reach. The emotions linked to challenging past experiences can overshadow the richness of the present, and coping strategies that served them in challenging times may hinder their current mental, physical, social, and spiritual well-being. With her compassionate approach, Ann is dedicated to reminding individuals of their strengths and positive qualities, recognizing the potential for healing even during their lowest moments. She prioritizes creating a safe space for understanding and processing experiences, particularly for those from marginalized genders, abilities, statuses, sexualities, or racial backgrounds. Ann takes an empathetic and holistic view of counseling, collaborating with clients to explore their unique cultural beliefs and values. Her practice embodies a commitment to whole-body healing, integrating effective tools that connect the body, brain, and relationships.
