Ms Ann DeWitt

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“Experience passion in your marriage and fun in your family. I work with individuals, couples, and teens to get back on track when things have gone awry. I have over 20 years' experience teaching tools & techniques to enable parents to create the family they envision and support their children to lead exceptional lives.”

About Me

I understand how frustrating it feels when family life loses its spark. I work with individuals, couples, and teens, helping you navigate challenges and find joy again. With over 20 years' experience, I equip parents with practical tools and techniques. This helps you build the family life you envision. We can explore ways to support your children, fostering connection and lasting happiness for everyone.

Approach

I guide families toward small, practical shifts—short experiments you try between sessions that change how you relate at home. In Lake Oswego or online, sessions feel paced to your family’s rhythm: we map recurring patterns, practice new responses, and bring teens’ voices into the room when it matters. For couples and parents I pair hands-on skill-building with gentle accountability so changes stick; with teens I prioritize curiosity, respect and clear communication practice. This way of working resonates with people who want tangible, sustainable change.
