Getting to know Dr. Annie Lam
Hello! My name is Dr. Annie Lam, and I am a licensed psychologist with a PhD in Mental Health Counseling from Lehigh University and over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy to adults across the lifespan dealing with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I believe that the core of human development lies in forming and maintaining emotionally intimate relationships. I approach psychotherapy from an integrative perspective, combining relational psychodynamic, CBT, systemic, and experiential theories. I emphasize respect, warmth, mutuality, and collaboration. I work hard to create a safe and supportive environment for you, focusing on exploring and understanding your unique history and worldview. Together, we will identify your strengths and talents, gain insight into patterns of relating that may be unproductive, and encourage you to experiment with new ways of behaving. Our journey will focus on increasing your self-awareness and making healthier choices.
I particularly enjoy working with individuals coping with life transitions such as starting or ending a relationship; having a baby; parenting an infant, child, or teen; changing jobs or careers; getting married or divorced; relocating; and achieving new life milestones.
While my psychological approach is effective for a broad range of concerns, I do not work with people with severe and persistent mental illness or those needing between-session intervention. Clients with active or recent suicidality, psychiatric hospitalization, self-injury, chemical dependence, or disordered eating will likely be referred to more appropriate services and care.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Therapy offers a safe, non-judgmental space for you to talk about things that are upsetting, hurtful, overwhelming, or stressful in your life. I will work with you to develop a plan to address life's challenges and learn healthier ways to cope. You are an equal partner in the therapy process. My therapeutic style is a balance of active listening, emotional support, and candid feedback.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
