Annie Mowbray, MA
Tampa | Registered Mental Health Counseling Intern | Chronic Illness & Disability
ABOUT
Annie is a trauma-informed clinician in Tampa offering virtual therapy across Florida and in-person sessions for adults and couples. She specializes in the inner world of high-functioning clients who look composed on the outside while privately carrying anxiety, perfectionism, OCD, or the long-term weight of relational trauma. With a Master's in Rehabilitation Counseling and Disability Sciences, Annie brings rare specialty depth to therapy for adults living with chronic illness or invisible disability, and to the partners and families navigating life alongside them.
SPECIALTIES
Annie draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Gestalt therapy, and a trauma-informed lens, adapting her approach to the person in the room rather than applying a single protocol. Her clients often carry high-functioning anxiety, OCD, or perfectionism alongside deeper layers of relational trauma, complex trauma, and PTSD, with depression, life transitions, adjustment disorders, or disordered eating frequently part of the picture. She brings particular depth to therapy for adults living with chronic illness, autoimmune conditions, chronic pain, neurodivergence, and the invisible disabilities the world tends to overlook. She works just as closely with the caregivers and families navigating a loved one's illness or disability, and with couples rebuilding emotional safety after infidelity or strained communication. Annie sees young adults and adults at the Tampa office and across Florida via secure telehealth.
