Anna Hawkins, MA, LMFT

I had the great fortune of having Anna as my home group facilitator for my first year of the Hakomi comprehensive training. I was continually grateful for her nurturing and supportive presence, technical mastery, and spiritual strength. The training calls a lot out of each student as we practice with each other with very real experiences and material from our lives, and she did a wonderful job of holding the container and offering insight and guidance as needed.
I experienced Anna as present, compassionate, and incredibly competent both as teacher and practitioner. I had missed a number of days of my training due to schedule conflicts, so I worked with Anna over the course of an afternoon to fill in the gaps and brush up on techniques, and it ended up being one of the most useful afternoons of the training for me. She really did a great job facilitating my integration of the material; she used insightful and relevant metaphors and I had the sense that she was really putting in the effort to understand my experience of the training.
Anna is very easy to talk with, non-​judgemental, and from what I’ve seen she’s very skilled at holding the full range of experiences and emotions. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled counselor and genuine human being.
Anna, thank you so much for all your help and for showing up!

Anna offers a warm, honest, and truly empathic presence in her work with couples and individual clients. It doesn’t matter what you are sharing with her, you can just tell right away that she gets it on a deep level and genuinely wants to hear about your experience. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking support during a difficult time.

Just over 3 years ago I met Anna for the first time. I was in a very dark space. I was dealing with crippling depression and suffering from panic attacks and anxiety. I had tried a lot of things to ease my troubles but I couldn’t but nothing seemed to really work. So I called and made an appointment.
From day one I was very comfortable with Anna. She is quite easy to talk to and connect with. Without getting into too much details (every person is different) I felt things start to shift for me, even in those first few sessions.
Anna is a talented therapist that listened, asked poignant questions, and really helped me to step back and find the answers to my issues with me. She helped me stand up and fight back!
I am forever grateful to her and her practice. She is awesome.
I worked with Anna for about 3 years… and now that our sessions are done I feel like I have a huge array of tools to deal with anything that challenges me from here on out.
THANK YOU ANNA!
Take care.
