Therapy With Heart, Backed by Science
At Open Heart Therapy, we believe wellness starts from within. We provide a compassionate and judgment-free space where you can explore, heal, and grow emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
Welcome to Open Heart Therapy
Healing Begins With an Open Heart
Therapy is a space where healing, growth, and reconnection can begin. Whether you’re feeling stuck, navigating life transitions, or carrying wounds from the past, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.
I work with adults and adolescents who are ready to explore their inner worlds, deepen their self-awareness, and move toward lasting change. My approach is grounded in attachment theory, person-centered care, and a strong commitment to social justice. I believe that every person holds deep inner wisdom—and that healing happens when we’re met with empathy, safety, and respect.

About Me/My Approach
Annemieke Hartman LCSW
Heart-Opened, Person-Centered Care
I see therapy as a collaborative process. You’re the expert on your own life—I’m here to walk alongside you, not to lead or fix. My role is to offer presence, reflection, and gentle guidance as you uncover your own truth.
My approach blends relational depth with evidence-based practices, including:
- Attachment Theory – Understanding how early relationships shape the way we connect to ourselves and others.
- Person-Centered Therapy – Holding space with unconditional positive regard, deep empathy, and authenticity.
- CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) – Identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns and beliefs.
- DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) – Building skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthy relationships.
- ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) – Cultivating mindfulness, self-compassion, and aligned action in the face of life’s challenges.
- Social Justice Orientation – Recognizing the impact of systems, culture, and identity on mental health, and affirming your lived experience.
Together, we’ll explore patterns, build insight, and foster resilience. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, identity, or relationship struggles—you’re welcome here, just as you are.
