When I first met you, Ann, and learned you were a therapist, I remember asking you why you were a therapist/what attracted you to the profession?
I remember you sharing that you are a 2nd generation therapist (Dad was a marriage & family therapist and Mom worked with kids) and you mentioned a few other things…(I have forgotten as I was too busy looking at you) 
And…
There was One thing, you said that stuck out to me that I will never forget.
You said, I can’t imagine doing anything else.
Wow.
Who you are and what you do is one.
You are a helper. You journey with people. You are a therapist who is doing the work herself on herself and walking with others in a grounded and compassionate way.
As the owner of Grounded In Compassion, PLLC, you wear all the hats and now you have something else to add.
drumroll….
The proud owner of a tshirt and polo shirt of your company/your business.

So proud of you Anna and I know we are both looking forward to wearing these out and about. 
If you are looking for someone to connect with for any and all reasons (life is hard and having someone to talk to in a confidential manner who won’t judge you is helpful) please reach out.
