Hi There, We’re so glad you’ve found our corner of the internet.
Ann Agbiak Rushing, LCSW
Hi Y’all. My name is Ann (pronounce Auhn) and I’m the owner of this Therapy Practice. I want to share how I got here. My life experience has led me to the path of becoming a therapist. As a sensitive child, teenager, and young adult there were many times I wished someone would have given me the tools to gain a greater sense of inner safety and security. That yearning of trying to understand myself and the world around me led me to read lots of self-help books and enter the world of therapy.
I am a First Generation South Sudanese immigrant. Coming to the United States at a young age allowed me to have a bi-cultural experience that plays a huge role of how I show up in this world. I’ve been on a journey of embracing all aspects of my identity as a highly sensitive human operating in competitive arenas. I Dare say… I’m cracking the code to life with all these “obstacles “ and would love to show you the road map.
I pride myself in creating a non-judgmental space to explore and start to understand who you are and how you show up in your world. The first few sessions are for me to get to know who you are and understand the important things in your life. The rest of the sessions will look like developing your road map to a healthier you and creating a plan with goals in alignment with how you would like to show up in your world.

A Holistic approach
A client once asked me if I practice the things I advise in therapy during an initial call. Yes, I love it all the HIPPY DIPPY stuff! I practice Mindfulness, Meditation, Sound Frequency, Somatic, Narrative Therapy, Gestalt, and EMDR. We utilize all techniques to address the Mind, Body, and Spirit connections to develop a wrap around approach to get you in touch and master those areas.
