Anne DiPrima, PsyD (she/her)

Anne is a clinical psychologist, in practice since 1992. She works primarily with individual adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or impediments to personal, professional, or creative expression. She draws strongly on an object-relations theory of development, and on attachment and trauma-informed training, to detect root causes of suffering, and to trace patterns of behavior that stem from these. Anne and her client collaboratively use these insights to discover what changes in present thinking and behavior will most likely bring enduring relief. Anne engages clients using cognitive-behavioral, insight-oriented, interpersonal, somatic, and mindfulness-based methods in treatment. She also has a special interest in working with writers, musicians, actors, or artists who are struggling with some aspect of their creative work. In her nonclinical hours, Anne directs the nonprofit Young Shakespeare Players (in its 43rd year in Madison), in which young people (age 7-18) perform full-length works of Shakespeare.

“Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak
Whispers the o’er-fraught heart, and bids it break.”
