Annie Gillis, MA, LMFTA

Couples and Family Therapist, Coach, Clinical Case Manager

Background

I have over 6 years of experience in various mental health roles, first supporting young adults and their families at redpoint Seattle. I then went on to work in a private practice setting wherein I deepened my love for relational work with individuals, couples, and families. Now, I have returned to my roots- combining my clinical coaching, case management, and therapeutic expertise.

Therapeutic Approach

As a couple and family therapist that sees individuals and couples, my approach supports clients in examining their relational dynamics and environments from a systemic, holistic, and non-pathologizing lens. Together we will explore your experiences, gain insights, challenge unsupportive patterns, and identify root causes so you can achieve long lasting change. I tend to blend skill (CBT/DBT) and emotion work (EFT) into sessions, providing you with evidence-based tools as well exploring the depths of your experiences. My clients state I play an active role in the therapy room: listening to understand while also being direct (with kindness).

Coaching

As a coach, I specialize in working with individuals who are struggling in school or work, need support with executive function, are looking to become more independent, and are wanting to have successful relationships. My coaching style is rooted in warmth, humor, and collaboration.

Beyond redpoint

Outside of work you’ll find me geeking out on all things wellness, chasing the sun, and spending time with loved ones... (especially my bernedoodle, Theo).

Areas of Focus

I have a particular passion for working with individuals and couples who want to explore their experiences and family of origin, who need support navigating conflict, those dealing with anxiety and overwhelm, and people who have desire to develop the tools necessary to have a deeper sense of connection to themselves and those around them.
