Annie Bradford, LCSW

therapist/Senior clinician | annie@3rdwavetherapy.com | 919-886-4052

My style of therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in creating a space where you can feel safe enough to do meaningful work. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and EMDR, including EMDR Intensives for clients who want more focused time to work through difficult experiences without being limited to a traditional therapy hour.

I work with clients navigating PTSD, anxiety, depression, OCD, and major life transitions, and I especially enjoy helping people move through experiences that continue to affect how they feel, respond, or show up in their lives.

My approach integrates EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and body-based trauma work to address both the emotional and physiological impact of distress while helping you build a life that feels more aligned with your values.

¡Hablo español! I also provide therapy in Spanish and am committed to creating a space where clients from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds can feel understood and supported.

  As a Senior Clinician here at Third Wave, my work focuses on trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, and life transitions. I am trained in EMDR and Brainspotting, and I offer EMDR Intensives for clients who want extended, focused time for trauma processing.

  My broader clinical experience spans community mental health and outpatient settings, working with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse cultural, religious, and linguistic backgrounds. I integrate evidence-based and body-based approaches while maintaining a warm, collaborative style.
