Annisa Exline, M.A., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

My Approach & Values

Annisa is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has a passion for working with children, adolescents, young adults, couples, and new parents navigating difficult life transitions.  Annisa began working at Central Valley Family Therapy in 2019 after working as a school-based clinician in an elementary school setting.

Annisa graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Saint Mary’s College of California in 2016. Annisa then completed her Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Santa Clara University in 2019.

Therapy can be a vulnerable and unique process, and Annisa strives to create a safe and supportive space throughout this process that fosters each client’s desired healing and growth. Annisa takes an integrative approach to working with clients and utilizes many different therapeutic techniques in order to best fit the needs of each individual client. 

Additionally, since joining Central Valley Family Therapy, Annisa has completed comprehensive and advanced training in working with the perinatal population, women that have transitioned to motherhood as well as, women that have experienced perinatal grief and loss. This developed from seeing mothers and their families in distress before, during, and after the birth of a child.  She feels a calling to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for women and mothers. She is excited to be a part of the Central Valley Family Therapy team and the opportunity to learn and grow as a therapist.    

In addition to the clinical contributions Annisa makes to the CVFT Team, she is also responsible for training new clinicians as they onboard onto our team.  Annisa focuses on growing a positive working relationship with new team members from their first day of employment.  She is extremely proactive, responsible, and detail orientated, and she uses these attributes to build and maintain positive and productive inter-departmental working relationships.
