Anne Dykers, LCPC
My name is Anne Dykers and I am a psychotherapist and bodyworker licensed in the state of Maryland. Since the early 90’s, I have been practicing work that integrates psychodynamic principles, direct work with the body, and attention to depth process of the imagination.
I received my counseling degree from Marymount University (1996) and I did my primary training in body-psychotherapy with the New York Society for Bioenergetic Analysis (1989-1991), focusing on a branch of work developed by Stanley Keleman (1995-2000). This work built on my first career as a teacher of literature and creative writing and my lifelong interest in the Jungian approach to the archetypal. All of these have helped me to listen to the gifts of the psyche, authentic creative expression, and spirituality that emerge as we grapple with our most difficult experiences in life.
My direct study of the body includes my training as a massage therapist and my ongoing study of developmental movement and embodied anatomy with the School for Body-Mind Centering®. I have also maintained a strong focus on the neurobiology of trauma, attachment and healing, studying EMDR and Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing.
I work with adults with a wide range of concerns: anxiety, creative blocks, relationship difficulties, trauma, sexual issues, and childhood wounds. I have worked at Whitman-Walker Clinic, assisting people with HIV and other stress-affected medical illness, working with trauma recovery and addictions, and issues relating to sexual orientation. I have maintained a private practice in body-oriented process work since 1990.
I am a member of the US Association of Body-Psychotherapists, the American Counseling Association, and the DC Area Guild of Body-Psychotherapist, which I co-founded with Barbara Goodrich-Dunn.
I am enormously grateful to have work that I love and that constantly enriches my own growth. It is my joy to support others as they make meaning of their difficult experiences, heal, and nourish their creativity and spirituality.
wishing you well-being in your depth,
Anne
