You are so done with having to drag yourself out of bed, drinking 10 cups of coffee just to feel something, and giving self-inflicted pep talks that don't friggin' work! Maybe your friends or family don't even notice and they think you're doing GREAT! In reality it’s a struggle keeping it together. You’re white knuckling it and somehow managing to save face. If you’ve made it here, you’re ready to work through what’s bothering you so that life can feel less painful. Whether you’re going through trauma, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, or relationship issues you’re in the right place.

In sessions we’ll use fancy techniques like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and more to take down some of the intensity of what you’ve been feeling so you can experience yourself as more grounded. We’ll use those therapies and some dark, sarcastic humor. Yes, we can laugh in therapy!

Relief from pain is possible. Together we’ll create that freedom you’ve been looking for. We’ll work to bring your mind and the things you do into alignment with your goals. The next thing you know you'll be handling challenges with more ease, be able to respond instead of reacting, and experience more joy in your life.

We'll use therapies that allow you to not talk much about what hurt you, unless you want to. We also won't need to focus on the hurts from the past for too long. It'll just get pulled up into working memory for a moment before we focus on something positive and engaging to you. Yes, without talking about the bad things that happened or thinking of it for too long, you can feel better.

Magena Ammen is a clinician with great depth and knowledge. Her work demonstrates a commitment to her clients which is wholly authentic and compassionate. I am grateful to know this special individual and to call her friend!

Katie Zimmermann

Magena is one of the most calm, creative, and naturally empathic colleagues whom I’ve had the pleasure to work with. I never hesitate to refer to her when anyone is seeking a highly skilled therapist to support them in their most vulnerable trauma work.

Claudia Delgado

I can't recommend Magena enough to clients looking for support. There is no doubt that clients will feel her warm and genuineness.
