Welcome
I'm Ann Behringer
I have an unusual background. I had another career prior to my current career as a therapist. I was a professional dancer for 15 years. I danced on screen as well as on stage. During those years, when I was off the road I went to school and finally in the early 90's became a licensed therapist.
I tell people about my earlier career because my experiences offer a unique view and understanding particularly for people who are in the entertainment industry. I have had a variety of life experiences that have enriched my clinical approach, providing a multifaceted view on life.
