Anna Mayer

Anna Mayer is a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Lafayette, CO, who works with adults and couples with a focus on relationships and sexuality. Many of her clients have found great success in other areas of their lives, like their careers, but struggle to feel connected in their relationships or at peace in their daily lives. Anna is particularly sensitive to clients facing moments of transition in their relationships, such as those recovering from infidelity, healing through a breakup, navigating a shift from monogamy to Ethical Non-Monogamy, or exploring a change in sexual orientation.

Anna’s approach is rooted in Somatic Counseling Psychology, a body-based approach that incorporates our whole self, including body, mind, and emotion. It is a mindfulness-based approach that focuses on helping clients understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected to their visceral sensations, and how to work with our often involuntary responses from the bottom up to support long-term changes. She works to help clients understand their physical response to external stressors, and begin to problem-solve ways to introduce moments of embodied choice, to choose to respond rather than react in the face of challenge.

Anna is focused on ensuring that her clients see real progress: her style is interactive, non-judgmental, and practical. A trauma-informed therapist, Anna is sensitive to the influence of past experiences on present challenges, and works closely with clients to cultivate safety in the present moment and to process trauma in a way that increases self-confidence and compassion.

Anna’s first priority in starting with a new client is ensuring that they feel safe, heard, and like an equal partner in the therapeutic process. As a seasoned telehealth provider, she offers the convenience of remote sessions to help make therapy a core component of your self-care calendar.
