Hi, I’m Marlane.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. I provide a safe, supportive space for individuals and families navigating stress, trauma, emotional challenges, and substance use concerns.

Through evidence-based approaches such as CBT and trauma-focused CBT, we will work together to build coping skills, improve emotional wellness, strengthen communication, and create meaningful change.
My goal is to help you feel empowered, resilient, and confident as you move forward.
“If you’re ready to heal, reduce stress, and rediscover your peace, you’re in the right place. Be intentional about your healing journey so you can live the life you deserve.”
I’m Annetta Thomas, owner and psychotherapist of Purposely BE, LLC (PBLLC). I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S), mental health advocate, life coach, and proud mother to a princess. My journey to becoming a therapist was both personal and purposeful. Though I once imagined becoming a doctor, my true calling emerged when I discovered the power of psychology and healing. I believe that resilience and healing are within reach for everyone.
I consider it a privilege to hold space for others during their most vulnerable moments. My goal is to help clients rediscover peace, clarity, and confidence as they navigate life’s challenges.
Welcome!! I’m glad you’re here and ready to take this step toward your wellbeing.
As a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I am passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each individual’s unique needs. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and other mood or stress-related conditions. In addition to these focus areas, I also support clients dealing with trauma, grief, panic disorders, OCD, relationship and family issues, maternal mental health, and cultural or identity-related stressors.
Fluent in English, Hindi, and Punjabi, I value inclusivity and cultural understanding in my work. My goal is to make clients feel truly seen, heard, and supported as they take steps toward emotional well-being and resilience.
I help to create a safe, collaborative space where you will feel seen, not judged. Our relationship is one where you can let your guard down and show up as your full self. It is my goal to use a warm and compassionate relationship to walk alongside you, offering reflection, compassion, and challenge when needed to help you reach your goals.
Sometimes just getting through the day can feel like a full-time job. Finding a mental health provider who truly understands you may seem out of reach, but it’s absolutely possible. Before anything else, I’m human. I’m also a woman, born overseas and shaped by the diversity of a Southern metropolitan city. I’ve had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life and am passionate about partnering with patients as they move toward greater health, balance, and fulfillment. You don't have to navigate it all alone. You can exhale- we’ll take it from here, together.
