    S3 | E8: Beyond Talk Therapy: The Future of Mental Health with Anna Marie Green

    What if healing didn’t have to take years? In Season 3, Episode 8 of the ThriveWell Podcast, Jess sits down with Anna Marie Green, licensed clinical therapist (LCSW), professional intuitive, and creator of The Intuitive Therapy Method™ - a breakthrough model redefining mental health and healing. After experiencing anxiety, PTSD, and depression following the tragic loss of her daughter’s father to suicide, Anna Marie found herself in therapy twice a week - yet not recovering. That experience led her to realize something was missing in traditional models of care. Blending psychology, nervous system work, and intuitive/energetic healing, The Intuitive Therapy Method™ helps clients get to the root cause - often in a fraction of the time. In this episode, Anna Marie explains how bypassing the ego allows therapists to address what’s truly driving symptoms, how she integrates intuition ethically and trauma-informed, and why the future of mental health lies at the intersection of science, systems, and intuition. The conversation even includes a live intuitive demonstration that connects physical symptoms to deeper emotional roots - and challenges how we think about healing altogether. If you’re curious about the next evolution of care, leadership, and personal growth - this episode will stretch you. This episode is brought to you by Brenda Brosnan with Cross Country Mortgage. 🎧 Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
