Therapy for adults and young adults in California and New York navigating chronic stress, anxiety, and the impacts of trauma.
If you feel stuck in your experience of stress, anxiety, or trauma…you are absolutely in the right place. I’m here to help you explore pathways to the peace and agency you’ve been longing for.
The main thing I want you to know is this: you make sense in context. Throughout our lives, our minds & bodies are deeply impacted by both good & difficult experiences. We build defenses, nervous systems, & habits that may have ensured security in the past, but are now contributing to some of the difficulty & suffering in our own lives.
The good news is that change and healing is so possible. I am confident that together we can understand & navigate the past and present factors increasing the overwhelm & distress in your life. You deserve to create the presence, connection, and fulfillment you want in your life.

About Dr. Annabelle Kyle Dortch
My clients often come to initial sessions asking questions like “Why do I feel so on edge all the time, am I crazy?” or “Why do I keep getting stuck in relationships like this? What is wrong with me?” And while I KNOW it is frustrating to feel stuck in repetitive cycles, I also want you to know that you are not ‘crazy’. Together we can make sense of your experience so you can make meaningful shifts towards connecting with yourself and others in a way that feels good to you.

Research tells us one of the main indicators of successful therapy is a strong relationship between the client & therapist.
Because of this, I always schedule a free 15 minute consultation with potential clients so we can chat, see if we would be a good fit together, & answer any questions you may have. Text or email me to schedule an initial call!
