Ann Soule , LCPC

Ann Soule is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LCPC) with 19 years of experience working in mental health and addiction treatment. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Relations and a Master’s degree in Counselor Education (M.Ed), and she also carries credentials as a Certified Clinical Supervisor (CCS) and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) which reflect her clinical training and ability to supervise other clinicians. Ann balances a full professional life with family roles as a married mother of two and a grandmother to two grandchildren, one of whom has autism.

In her role as Program Manager at an Opioid Treatment Center, Ann oversees Medication Assisted Treatment that includes Methadone and Suboxone, and her practice has focused extensively on substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health concerns. She approaches addiction with an understanding that substances are often used to cope with underlying trauma and loss, and she addresses the ripple effects that can follow - depression, anxiety, grief, strained relationships, financial stress, and a diminished sense of self.

Ann describes her approach as eclectic, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Prolonged Exposure, Gestalt, and Solution-Focused techniques, as well as play, art, and dream work when appropriate. She is an LGBTQ+ ally and is pursuing additional training in gambling addiction while planning future certification in financial therapy to better support the intersection of money and mental health. Her practice emphasizes harm reduction, meeting people where they are, collaborative guidance, and acknowledging progress at every step.
