What this practice is

Counseling for women at significant thresholds

Women come to this work carrying many different things — grief, a body that feels unfamiliar, a sense of being stuck, a question about who they are becoming. Individual therapy offers a space to slow down, make sense of what's happening, and find your way forward.

Grief, Identity & Life Transitions

The question "who am I now?" deserves more than coping strategies. Empty nesting, divorce, aging, the end of a chapter — major transitions ask us to rebuild our sense of self. Therapy helps you find what comes next.

Infertility & Reproductive Grief

Infertility grief happens largely in silence — without the rituals that accompany other losses. It affects identity, relationships, and your sense of the future, and it deserves more than generalized coping strategies.

Hormonal Transitions & Midlife

Perimenopause and menopause aren't only physical — they can be identity events. When mood, sleep, and sense of self all shift at once, therapy offers a place to work with the transition rather than against it.

Why a women's practice?

Working with a woman isn't just a preference — it changes what's possible

Therapy surfaces what lives in the deep interior — grief, fear, shame, longing, the stories we hold about ourselves as women. Who is in the room with you is not incidental. It shapes what you feel safe enough to meet.

Women navigating hormonal transitions, reproductive losses, or identity questions carry a particular kind of material. The felt sense of being truly understood by someone who inhabits the same landscape — not just clinically familiar with it — creates a quality of safety that allows for deeper work.

Anne brings both: clinical expertise in women's psychology and the lived understanding of a woman who has navigated her own thresholds.

About Dr. Anne Metz

A licensed counselor with a PhD in counselor education

I'm a licensed professional counselor with a PhD in counselor education. My clinical training spans years of practice in trauma, grief, life transitions, and complex mental health work.

I also teach graduate-level counseling courses as clinical faculty at Southern New Hampshire University.

I work with women because women's experiences — in bodies, in time, in grief — are too often undertreated and underestimated. This work is where I can do the most good.

Request a free 15-minute consultation. This is a request for a consultation, not a booking. Dr. Metz reviews each request and proceeds with booking a consultation if it is a fit. If the request is not a fit, or the form is not completed, you will be notified by email. You can also email anne@annemetz.com or call 434-531-2396.

Yes. I own two other businesses. Each is a separate company from Anne Metz LLC.

Emic Health provides billing and credentialing training for rural New Mexico clinicians.

Thirty-Sixth Parallel LLC (thirtysixthparallel.com) is a separate company for psilocybin services. Anne Metz LLC does not provide psilocybin services. Psilocybin services are provided only through the separate company.

Curious whether counseling is right for you?

A free 15-minute consultation is the first step: information about the process, whether it's a good fit, and what working together would look like.
