Getting to know Dr. Annapoorna Ayyagari

As a trauma-informed psychotherapist, I have repeatedly seen the benefits of targeting trauma directly in a consistent way. Supported by research, dealing with the most distressing incident(s) can more efficiently help you become more present in your life, enjoy things you had before, and create a future you want. My approach is supportive and goal-oriented, and I am here to help you in this journey.

I focus on individual treatment. I enact treatments of Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Written Exposure Therapy (WET).

What is your typical process for working with clients?

The goal of my practice is to strengthen individuals to help them create long-lasting positive effects in their lives. Your input is key in individualizing evidence-based treatments to meet your needs. Please go ahead and sign up through Headway.co, the portal through which I see patients.
