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 conversation dives deep into the difference between audience and community, the power of authenticity and vulnerability, setting standards that protect integrity, and why mindset and self-trust always come before strategy.
