Annalise Oatman

My clients describe me as:

warm and easy to talk to, curious, thoughtful and accepting; unique and skillful in the way I blend EMDR with Shamanic Energy Medicine

Something to know about my approach is:

I like to take a thorough assessment at the beginning of our work that includes a look at your lifestyle and your creative and erotic wellness. From there I blend Jungian dreamwork, highly somatic and IFS-informed EMDR and Shamanic Energy Medicine.

Together, we will:

Take a trauma-informed look at what is at the root of your difficulty coming into your full expression and power as a woman, and address it at the root with a holistic blend of powerful, transformative approaches that work with the body & unconscious

I specialize in working with people who:

I specialize in working with women who long to be in their full sensual and creative expression but get tripped up because of cultural programming and frequently also because of actual trauma (sexual or otherwise). Many of my clients are writers!

I became a therapist because:

I could see it as a lifestyle of service that would suit my personality and allow me to write. I always wanted to do 1:1 Jungian-style therapy.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I'm in the process of relocating, possibly to Woodstock, New York! If so, I will be tuning in from a powerful, seasonal forest (with good internet)!

More about me and my practice:

I do not consider what I do to be "work." It is such a part of who I am and I love continually learning about it! My current passion is for learning more about Somatic Archaeology. And I'm a poet who hosts erotic dance / voice activation groups!
