Hi! I’m Annie.

Annie Biers, LPC

One of my favorite authors, Glennon Doyle, describes life as being both beautiful and brutal: 'brutiful.' While it is incredible on the one hand that us humans have the capacity to endure the many complexities of life, we can experience seasons in this brutiful life that feel more brutal than not. Whether you're reeling from a recent loss or life event that has you experiencing feelings that are completely new and upsetting to you or you are finally ready after much time and ambivalence to trust a counselor with long-held resentments towards self or others, I would be incredibly honored if you chose to invite me into the process.

Since 2003, I have been working with children, teens and adults who are courageous and vulnerable enough to ask for help managing life-upsets related to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, body image, pregnancy/postpartum issues, addiction and drug abuse, disconnects in spirituality, intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors and relational conflict.

Sometimes what we need most is invitational and intentional space to reflect on who we are, what we want and how to best engage our ambivalence to tip the scales toward change. What I aim to do is partner with you well, cultivating this needed space and mirroring for you the strength and resiliency you possess in order to help you experience a rich life.

On a personal note: I graduated from Mary Persons High School (Go Dawgs!) 862 years ago (thereabout). I went on to receive my BS in Public and Human Services from Middle Georgia State College. From there, I made quite a move away from my hometown to pursue my Masters degree in Counseling Psychology at the Seattle School of Theology and Psychology (yes! a seminary.). I met and married the best man ever while in Seattle and we now have 4 children. He was gracious enough to relocate with me back to my hometown and has grown to love it and feel right at home here as well. I feel so honored to partner with our local schools and families to provide counseling services in a place I feel so deeply connected to. When one of us grows or heals, it affects all of us.
