Anne Wagner
Ph.D., C.Psych. — Psychologist & Founder
Anne created Remedy as a home for the creative exploration of practice and community, and to fund the work of Remedy Institute, a home for research and accessible services. Anne works with individuals, couples, other intimate relationship constellations, and groups to navigate experiences of growth, exploration, relationships, mindfulness, preparing for and integrating psychedelic and non-ordinary state experiences, life stressors, trauma, and depression. With extensive experience in mindfulness-based and contemplative practices, cognitive, behavioural, and psychedelic-assisted therapies, Anne has been exploring existential and humanistic therapies, emotion-focused interventions, and spiritual exploration to complement her evolving interests and experiences. Strongly believing in the power of emotions and felt experiences in the body as cues and opportunities to become curious, she values non-judgment, presence, and openness in the therapeutic experience. She has noticed clients who are artists, academics, looking to work with their relationships, to explore experiences of gender and sexuality, and to heal from trauma are particularly drawn to work with her. Anne believes in being genuine, empathic, honest, curious, and warm as a therapist. Her practice is honouring and inclusive of all sexual and gender identities and expressions. She holds dear the values of inclusivity, trauma-competency, anti-oppression, and feminism.
Anne is the principal investigator of A Phase 2 Open-Label Treatment Development Study of MDMA-Assisted Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and A Randomized Trial of MDMA-Assisted Cognitive-Behavioural Conjoint Therapy (CBCT) versus CBCT in Dyads in Which One Member has Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Anne collaborates on numerous projects with other researchers, spanning across the fields of psychedelics, trauma, couples therapy, HIV, and the experiences of women. Anne trains and supervises students, and provides consultation and training to peers. She formerly sat on the board of Casey House, is the past-Chair of the Traumatic Stress Section of the Canadian Psychological Association, and was a Global Ambassador for the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies.
