Meet Annie

SERVING CHILDREN AGES 3+ FOR PLAY & INDIVIDUAL THERAPY


ANNIE STRAWN, LCSWA

Annie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSWA). She received her undergraduate degree in Human Development and Family Science from Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama, and her master’s in social work from North Carolina State University. While in college, Annie’s work experience included adoption, rehabilitation, and child advocacy. Working in these contexts gave her a sense of the great responsibility and privilege of partnering with individuals and listening to their stories. In her graduate work, Annie interned with a nonprofit focused on equine assisted psychotherapy for adolescents and also served as an outpatient intern doing therapy with children and their parents.

My style

Annie’s deep love for children, their internal worlds, and the art of play have led her to this field and her particular focus. She is passionate about working with children and creating a safe space for them to grow and develop. She believes in the power of the therapeutic relationship in the life of children, as well as the importance of parental involvement in that process. Annie employs a psychodynamic, person-centered approach when working with her clients so as to help foster healing, growth, and connection. Even so, she knows there is no one-size-fits-all modality, and so she is eager to partner with clients to find the approach that is best for them. In her free time, Annie enjoys spending time with friends, drinking coffee, and reading.
