Here’s what you might want to know:

Annie Dreese, LMFT (license number: #162446), PMH-C, is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in perinatal mental health, birth trauma, and the parent-child relationship from infancy through early childhood. She holds a master's in counseling psychology, trained at UCSF's Infant Parent Program at San Francisco General Hospital, has earned a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C), is pursuing Infant, Family, and Early Childhood Mental Health (IFECMH) endorsement, and has additional clinical training in Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP). She maintains a private practice serving clients in Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez, California. Her practice integrates individual therapy with women in pregnancy and postpartum, couples therapy, and dyadic work with parents and young children — treating the whole relational system rather than the individual alone.

Annie offers limited spots for Cigna, Aetna, and Anthem Blue Cross, and can provide a superbill for out-of-network clients.

Referrals are welcome for patients navigating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, birth trauma, attachment concerns, and the broader transition to parenthood.
