Trauma-Informed, Depth-Oriented Therapy in California and New York
Welcome.
I am Anna Huff, PhD, a clinical psychologist licensed in California and New York. The work I do is depth-oriented and integrative, and it is for people who are ready for the kind of inner work that actually changes how they live. The pages here will give you a sense of who I am and what I offer. Please look around, and reach out if it feels right.
What it’s like beneath the surface:
High functioning on the outside while also sensing there is something more or that something essential is missing.
Understanding your patterns, sometimes for years, and still not quite reaching the transformation you want.
Carrying the lasting effects of childhood experiences or trauma and a readiness to work with what is held there.
Sensing there are deeper places in yourself that you have not yet reached.
Looking for more depth or inner contact, after a long path of spiritual or inner work.
What this work looks like:
EMDR from an attachment-based lens: A method for processing what has remained unresolved, such as memories, experiences, and the patterns formed around them, so that what has been held can finally release and integrate.
Depth-oriented psychological work: Works with the patterns that have shaped life through identifying, mapping, and supporting them to release at the level where they are actually held. Insight is the beginning of this work, not the end of it.
Integration of the psychological and the spiritual: Patterns that block psychological life often block spiritual unfolding, and the deeper layers of the psyche are also the place where spiritual life is lived. The work holds both at once and allows for spiritual unfolding.
NeuroAffective Touch: Combines somatic inquiry with attuned, intentional touch to reach the developmental and attachment layers that verbal work alone cannot quite open. It often works at the level of preverbal experience and developmental imprints to support the places where early relational material is held.
This work is for you if:
You’re carrying trauma or patterns that haven’t shifted, even though you’ve been doing the work.
You’re not afraid to face yourself, but you want someone who can meet you at those depths.
You’re alive to a process of inner awakening, and you’re looking for the kind of clinical and contemplative support that can hold what arises.
You’re looking to be matched in the depth and presence of what you bring.
You know the psychological and spiritual are part of the same unfolding, and you’re looking for a place where the work can move at that level.

Meet the Clinician
Hi, I’m Anna Huff, PhD.
I am Anna Huff, PhD. I am a depth-oriented clinical psychologist working with trauma, deeply held patterns, the integration of psychological and spiritual life, and the experience of inner awakening. I came to this work through my own long path of inner exploration, which began with a meditation practice in early childhood and has continued ever since. The work I offer is direct, integrative, and oriented toward change. My strength, as a clinician, is with navigation in exploring and mapping patterns and supporting the release of those, so that clients can more fully embody themselves.
