Family, Adolescent & Couples Counselor
Meet Annie
Professional Experience, Multicultural Perspective & Family Support
I’m Annie Plenge, a Family, Adolescent and Couples Counselor with more than 15 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults and families.
My professional path began in schools, first as a teacher and later in counseling departments. I went on to work in a psychological center in Peru and developed my private counseling practice, supporting families through emotional, relational and educational challenges.
I hold master’s degrees in Family Counseling and in Education and Psychological Intervention, with additional training in psychological intervention and DBT for adolescents and families.
Having lived and worked across different countries, I understand the impact that cultural change, relocation and family transitions can have on emotional well-being and relationships.
In Switzerland, I have worked with Foundations for Learning, providing emotional counseling and guidance to children, adolescents and parents in international and private-school settings.
My approach is warm, practical and collaborative. I work with adolescents, adults, parents, couples and families to better understand what is happening, improve communication and develop healthier ways of relating to one another.
I also bring my own multicultural experience to my work. I offer counseling in Spanish and English, both online and in person.
Outside my counseling work, I enjoy writing and baking with my children—two activities that keep creativity, connection and family life close to the heart of what I do.
