Our Counselors

Annie Kushner, MS
Registered Marriage & Family Therapist Intern

Our relationships — with others and with ourselves — are at the heart of our well-being. When our relationships are struggling, life can feel overwhelming. I’m passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families strengthen, heal, and enjoy the connections that matter most.

I’m a Registered Marriage & Family Therapist Intern with advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the gold standard for creating lasting change. Before becoming a therapist, I spent 12 years as an educator working with preteens, teens, and their families — an age group I still love supporting in therapy.

My areas of experience:

• Individual, couples, and family counseling
• Anxiety, depression, stress
• Navigating life transitions (divorce/separation, blending families, etc.)
• Healing after trauma
• Grief work
• Postpartum challenges
• Infidelity in relationships

I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can explore what’s getting in the way of closeness, confidence, and peace. Reaching out for support is a brave step, and I’m here to walk with you toward greater health, harmony, and happiness.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve been dealing with a lot by yourself. I’m here to offer you an environment where you don’t have to worry about carrying everything alone. In therapy, my goal is to offer you a place to be heard, be yourself and feel supported to navigate your life experiences.

My passion is working with individuals, couples, and families from a holistic perspective. I believe that therapy is most effective when you feel understood and never judged. Whether you are feeling stuck, emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected in your relationships, or unsure of what you need, I will meet you where you are. We will explore patterns that may be impacting you and work together toward healthier ways of coping, communicating, and connecting.

I’m a licensed Therapist in Colombia and I’m currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at the University of South Florida. I have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I have experience working with children, teens, and adults from diverse backgrounds in different settings. I am committed to providing an inclusive and supportive space. It would be an honor to support you in your healing and growth, and to help you move toward the life and relationships you deserve.

Some of the areas I have worked include but are not limited to:

• Anxiety and depression
• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Grief/loss
• Fertility-related challenges

I understand that life often comes in seasons that feel heavy, confusing, or simply overwhelming. In those moments, the most powerful tool for healing is a space where you can finally slow down and be truly heard.

I believe every person carries a story of immense value. My goal is to walk alongside you—whether as an individual, a couple, or a family—to create an environment where you feel safe, known, and genuinely cared for.

My approach is grounded in compassion and curiosity. I don’t just look at symptoms; I look at the whole person. Our work together will focus on:

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Child Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT), Play Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT).

I have worked in a variety of settings throughout my career including crisis intervention, substance use treatment, residential treatment, hospitals, and schools. I work with:
● Children, teens, and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, suicidal
thoughts, adjustment difficulties, self-harm, and grief
● Families struggling with conflict and/or high intensity emotions

● Couples looking to reconnect and work through hurts and difficulties

Life can feel challenging whether you’re dealing with emotional pain, life stressors,
hard decisions, relationship difficulties, or a general lack of satisfaction. It takes a
lot of courage to acknowledge that you are in a place where you need support.

You don’t have to go at it alone. Take that first step and set up a phone consultation. I look forward to working with you!
