Getting to know Anna Lacey

Hello, my name is Anna. I have personal experience with complex trauma and have 20 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families experiencing symptoms of complex trauma. Common symptoms include feeling isolated and misunderstood, feeling a lack of ability to connect with others, feeling stuck in negative memories and feelings, and experiencing heightened shame. I truly see my clients and profoundly understand their experience. I primarily utilize Internal Family Systems, Self Compassion, and DBT concepts. I understand how isolating, shameful and scary life can be for people with complex trauma. I understand and see you in your unique experience. Step by step, I help you climb out of the trauma, and as it sheds, you are left with who you are, what you want, and how you want to go about it. I provide a warm path to healing, and you can enjoy feeling good about who you are and who you have in your life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I have 20 years of experience working with teens, adults, families and couples. My specialties are complex trauma, addiction, and interpersonal relationships. My style is relational. It will feel like we're simply having conversations. I will learn about your lived experiences and support you in understanding how unhealthy internalized beliefs can contribute to feeling out of control, isolated, and misunderstood. Growing up in a family where nurture wasn't readily available can lead to feeling easily activated into feelings of shame, fear, and depression. It can lead to addictions of all kinds. My methodology encompasses learning to understand and accept your experiences in order to begin to act from a place of agency and empowerment.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My style is extremely relational. No awkward silences, no judgment. We start with understanding your reality and what contributed to it. Then we identify how it shows up in your life in ways that cause shame or suffering. From there, we develop a new way of interpreting what has felt difficult or scary. You will learn how to get through those types of activating experiences while maintaining a feeling of self worth, an improved ability to trust in yourself, and an ability to create and maintain healthy connection.
