I'm Anna Talamo, LMFT — a marriage and family therapist in Albany, California with 27 years of practice and a soft spot for cutting-edge, body-based trauma work.
I came into this work with a simple question: why is it that some of us can talk about the same pain for years and never feel free of it? Somewhere along the way I stopped believing that words alone would carry us home.

Over 27 years I've trained in Attachment-Focussed EMDR, Flash Technique, EFT with Matrix Reimprinting, and Brainspotting — approaches that reach the parts of us that language can't always get to. What I've learned is that healing has a rhythm: bilateral, embodied, spacious. It respects the pace of your nervous system.

I bring a calm room, a spontaneous streak, and a real belief in playfulness as medicine. You bring your questions and your life. Together, we find what wants to move.
