Anna Howland
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
“Private practice psychotherapy in the Bay Area. Trauma-informed psychodynamic psychotherapy for individual adults, couples, and adolescents.”
About Me
I offer trauma-informed psychodynamic psychotherapy for individual adults, couples, and adolescents. My work supports you in exploring how past experiences influence your present life. We create a compassionate space where complex feelings can be understood without judgement. This approach helps untangle deep-rooted patterns, fostering clarity and resilience. It is ideal for clients seeking to heal from past impacts and build more authentic relationships.
Approach
Healing often shows up as familiar emotional rhythms, so I attend to how those rhythms play out here and between sessions, gently naming patterns as they appear. In my San Francisco office, in English, sessions move at a steady, paced tempo—sometimes reflective and slow, sometimes more active—with invitations to try small relational experiments outside the room. We link felt experience to life stories through curious, contained reflection so insight grows alongside regulation. This way suits people ready to explore difficult feelings while holding practical, everyday change in view.
