Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hello! Welcome to Better Help! My name is Ann Newman (She/Her), and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Addiction Counselor practicing in Colorado. I graduated from Newman University in 2012, and have been working in the social services field with a wide variety of clients for 15 years. I discovered my passion for helping others when I first went to college, realizing quickly that the Business field I was initially interested in would never be as fulfilling as aiding another person to get through a tough time.
During my career, I have worked with children in foster care, family reunification, individuals with intellectual disabilities, individuals in a prison setting , LGBT individuals, and more recently with individuals, families, and groups with diagnoses of substance use and mental health disorders. I would describe my clinical approach as trauma-informed and client centered, with the goal of understanding what you want from your therapeutic experience and creating realistic goals we can achieve together. I employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and skills based learning, combined with an empathetic approach to your unique situation.
I can work with you through video, phone, or chat. However I find being able to connect through video to be most helpful in developing a strong therapeutic connection. My availability is mostly weekends, and I check my messages at least once a day throughout the week.
This is a great first step in helping yourself feel better and to begin a conversation geared towards your goals and needs. Sometimes we just need someone to talk to so we can sort it all out.
I look forward to working with you!

For many common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions – therapy delivered online can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions. Research and practice have shown that virtual care often meets the needs of people facing these types of challenges.
One major benefit of online therapy is flexibility. Clients can connect with licensed professionals in the format that suits them best – by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
Each therapist providing online care is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they need a different fit. This accessibility and adaptability help many people engage in therapy in a way that works for their lives and preferences.
