Anne F. Creekmore, PsyD, Licensed Clinical Psychologist at Dr. Anne Creekmore PsyD, has been recognized by Marquis Who’s Who Top Doctors for dedication, achievements and leadership in Psychology.
Dr. Creekmore has been recognized for her expertise as a clinical psychologist in acknowledgment of her innovative, integrative and holistic approach to psychological care. Through her work as the founder of her practice, Dr. Anne Creekmore PsyD, since 1988, she has developed a comprehensive clinical model that synthesizes empirically supported psychotherapy modalities, holistic health principles, hypnosis and spiritual psychology to address the full complexity of human functioning.
Dr. Creekmore provides specialized courses and professional training for fellow helping professionals, as well as educational programs for clients who wish to learn and apply the integrative therapeutic skills she has refined over decades of clinical practice. Her eclectic clinical approach draws from most of the effective, scientifically evidence-based forms of psychotherapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered therapy, psychodynamic therapy, as well as hypnosis, spiritual psychology, and the Whole Fulfilled Person model of recovery for addictions in addition to whole health, family, or couple therapy including communication skills training. Through this multidimensional framework, she assists clients in identifying and resolving subconscious limiting beliefs that often originate in early trauma and interfere with personal growth, emotional regulation, and well‑being.
A distinctive feature of Dr. Creekmore’s practice is her clinical use of hypnosis to access and reframe deeply embedded subconscious beliefs that contribute to maladaptive patterns in behavior, mood and perception. When utilized ethically and appropriately, hypnosis allows clients to enter a receptive, relaxed state in which negative core beliefs and trauma-based conditioning can be safely addressed. This process supports progress in areas such as smoking cessation, anxiety, depression, PTSD, addictions, and many other mental and physical health-related issues.
There is a growing demand for Dr. Creekmore’s holistic psychological care—an approach that extends beyond treating isolated symptoms such as anxiety or depression. Her work emphasizes treating the whole person: mind, body, spirit, and deeper psychological structure. Her evaluations carefully differentiate between unipolar and bipolar depression, conditions that require distinctly different treatment and medication considerations. She also emphasizes the importance of identifying complex PTSD and dissociative disorders, which frequently underlie treatment‑resistant anxiety and depression and must be specifically addressed for meaningful symptom remission to occur.
Drawing from guidelines established by the American Psychological Association, Dr. Creekmore conducts comprehensive diagnostic evaluations when symptoms such as anxiety, depression, somatic complaints, or addiction are present. Her assessment process includes careful exploration of trauma history and dissociative symptoms, often using standardized measures and collateral information when available. Dr. Creekmore also specializes in evidence-based treatment protocols for Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and complex post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD), and integrates hypnosis as a supportive tool within those protocols when clinically appropriate.
Dr. Creekmore is also deeply committed to collaborative, interdisciplinary care. She works closely with psychiatrists and medical providers to ensure accurate diagnoses and safe, effective treatment planning, particularly in cases where antidepressant medications may be contraindicated. Dr. Creekmore routinely encourages clients experiencing depression or anxiety to obtain their regular physical checkups with their doctors, including thyroid and nutritional assessments, recognizing that untreated physiological factors such as vitamin D deficiency or hormonal imbalance can significantly contribute to psychiatric symptoms.
Notably, the Whole Fulfilled Person model is recognized as a recovery framework originally rooted in Aristotelian philosophy. This model addresses the full spectrum of human needs, including physical, emotional, cognitive, social, spiritual, and vocational/mental dimensions, while supporting clients in developing purpose, autonomy, accountability, and healthy relational boundaries.
Dr. Creekmore also incorporates spiritual psychology in a client‑centered, ethically neutral manner, engaging this dimension only when it aligns with the client’s values and preferences. Her approach is inclusive and culturally sensitive, respecting diverse belief systems while supporting clients’ search for meaning, connectedness, and inner peace. She emphasizes mindfulness, positive self‑talk, emotional regulation, and self‑compassion as pathways to psychological integration and personal fulfillment.

Throughout her career, Dr. Creekmore has demonstrated exceptional dedication to her clients, maintaining a thriving private practice with consistently high demand. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she expanded her clinical availability to meet unprecedented levels of psychological distress, at times providing care to more than 50 clients per week. Dr. Creekmore’s longstanding reputation for clinical excellence, ethical integrity, empathy, and innovation has resulted in numerous professional recognitions and exceptional client satisfaction.
In an effort to contribute to the well-being of society, particularly in addressing issues such as violence and school shootings, Dr. Creekmore has achieved several notable breakthroughs in the field of psychology. Among these is her work on identifying and interpreting the distinctive communication patterns of narcissists, for which she coined the term “narcissist speak.” Dr. Creekmore has also developed significant insights into underlying conditions that can emerge in childhood and later evolve into severe personality disorders. These subjects, including both assessment and treatment approaches, are explored in her published works. Collectively, these contributions represent original and meaningful advancements to psychological theory and practice. Her findings and breakthroughs are based on 40 years of experience providing care to individuals across all major insurance companies, employee assistance programs, and Medicare and Medicaid programs, allowing her to work effectively with people from all backgrounds at full clinical capacity.
In summary, Dr. Anne Creekmore represents a new paradigm in psychological care—one that bridges evidence-based practice with holistic health, trauma-informed treatment, and spiritual sensitivity. Her work exemplifies comprehensive, ethical, and forward-thinking clinical psychology, addressing both the surface symptoms and the deeper structures that shape human experience.
