Find happiness in being you
Therapy helps you to build an inner sense of safety, have better coping skills, increase resilience, build confidence, and dare to try new experiences. As you are unveiling your true self, your core beliefs will become clearer, your boundaries stronger, your relationships deeper, and your life choices more intentional.

Anna Vaught, LICSW
Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Owner of Griffin Bay Psychotherapy LLC
I began my career with a decade of counseling women in Reproductive Health Clinics. I earned a Master's degree from University of Washington's School of Social Work in 2005 and spent the next several years managing Women's Health Clinics in San Francisco.
I have worked in Community Mental Health, and provided psychotherapy to children, families and adults with a wide range of mental health issues. I hold certification in Neuropsychotherapy, EMDR, and CBT and specialize in treating women with complex trauma, depression and anxiety. I also specialize in working with women who are struggling with feelings of guilt, shame and low self esteem.
As a pro choice therapist, I welcome women who are having difficulty coping with reproductive health issues including abortion, pregnancy, pregnancy loss and birth trauma. My client's can expect to build a strong therapeutic alliance where they will feel supported, safe and free of judgement.
Clients will have a personalized treatment plan to ensure that they are treated with the appropriate therapy and sessions are always productive towards meeting their therapeutic goals. My style is to be authentic, kind, and wise with a good dose of humor when needed.
