Annie Llewellyn, M.A.

After graduating from Georgetown University, Annie Llewellyn earned her Master’s degree in clinical psychology from University of Colorado in 1995. That same year she completed advanced studies in family therapy and EMDR training. For many years Annie used these specialties in her work as a therapist in residential treatment centers in Colorado and Tennessee. In the last ten years Annie has transitioned to primarily using neurofeedback in her practice. Annie is now the most experienced neurofeedback therapist in Richmond Virginia. Over the years, she has found that combing neurofeedback with EMDR was highly helpful for a broad variety of difficulties including anxiety and trauma, and produced the most lasting, powerful change in the shortest amount of time. Annie’s decades of experience have made her uniquely qualified to guide clients and their families in their healing journey.

“Everyone of us will experience at least one challenging life event in our lives. These experiences can change everything about us, from the thoughts we have about the world and ourselves, to our actions, and our relationships. All of this is mostly unconscious and we may not even be aware of how we have changed. Negative thoughts about ourselves after a traumatic event like a divorce like “I’m not good enough” or  “I’ll never be happy again” can become part of our self-talk going forward and actually change how we respond to other people and how they respond to us.  In order to cope, we may start overeating, or drinking too much, isolating , or having anger outbursts. At this point , we have a choice - to restore our minds and our health to the happy healthy state we had prior to the life event, or continue to be controlled and hurt by it long into the future.

I too have had a few challenging periods in my life. I count myself lucky that as a therapist I knew there were tools I could use to get through these difficult times. Initially I found EMDR in 1997 and found it amazingly effective for treating both myself and my patients (Learn more about EMDR). Recently, in the last 10 years, I found an even more effective method for healing from difficult life events. This is, of course, neurofeedback (Learn more about neurofeedback). I can honestly say I am emotionally stronger and healthier than I have ever been as a result of my neurofeedback sessions, despite life throwing me some serious curveballs. I want this for you as well.”

An optimally functioning brain is a beautiful thing. 

The path to transformation really is Just. That. Simple.
