Annie Tam is a Licensed Professional Counselor, student intern supervisor, and founder of MEND Counseling. Various post-college jobs in the French Alps, Paris, and a suburban high school, all led her to find a passion for helping others mend their hurt and uncover their potential. Since then, Annie has spent the last 17 years working in schools and private practice doing just that—helping individuals connect to themselves and rock their lives with authenticity, grit and intention.

After counseling in school and private practices, Annie opened MEND Counseling in 2016 at Highland Park Place. Although she hadn’t thought much about creating a group practice, God had other plans for MEND. It has been a joy-filled journey to create a unique, collaborative firm where therapists get to consult, grow and have fun together, and clients feel cared for, seen, and accepted. Around the same time, Annie created Talk Therapy Dallas, a group that meets to help both new and seasoned therapists network and navigate the counseling world.

Annie specializes in supporting working mothers, entrepreneurs, and perfectionists in building self-confidence, embracing their identity, and creating a wholehearted life rhythm. She has an active, humorous, and direct approach to counseling and is motivated by seeing change and growth in her clients. Annie is certified in EMDR which she uses to address trauma, disordered eating, and enhance performance. Your safety and acceptance is her priority in order to create an environment that fosters your holistic growth and freedom.

She offers coaching and consulting services in addition to counseling. Increasing self awareness and understanding of how her clients relate to others along with goal setting and accountability is at the heart of coaching. Annie is available for presentations and consultations in schools, churches, businesses and groups. She also enjoys consulting with other therapists to help them grow and gain confidence in the amazing work they do each day. In 2020, she cofounded A+K Collective, which provides workshops, 1:1 concierge coaching, “momchic” renewal retreats for the everyday mom, and refreshing couples retreats.

When Annie is not working, she can typically be found trying to keep up with her two rambunctious boys, enjoying a pilates class, or checking out a new restaurant around town with her husband. She loves strong coffee, anything French, and being outdoors. Her motto is, “You gotta tend it to MEND it” which she daily infuses in her clients lives as well as her own in order to LIVE WELL.
