Testimonials

The experience was great!!

I was a patient of Ann's for several years and cannot recommend her highly enough. From our very first session, I felt understood and supported. She created a welcoming and inclusive environment that allowed me to be vulnerable and feel safe giving my whole self during our time together. Ann's expertise is evident, and she carefully listens to her patient's concerns and tailors her support to each individual. As a patient, we worked together in both individual and group settings. Her practice of social therapy and her ability to help others through group dynamics was remarkable. As someone who was initially averse to the idea of working through my issues in a group setting, my experiences in Ann's group have completely changed my outlook. She skillfully guides her groups with empathy, understanding, and an open mind. The groups she cultivates create a support system that extends beyond the sessions, which I'm incredibly grateful for. Ann helped me navigate some of the most challenging times in my life, and she has left a last impact on me. Anyone who has the chance to work with her is extremely fortunate.

Social therapy surprised me. I thought therapy was going to be me talking about me to one listener, but social therapy isn’t that. We engage with each other, we can grow together, we created our own therapy. I can still go back. Ann welcomed me when I so desperately needed help, and the group embraced me as well. Revolutionary.

Ann has been very supportive during challenges I faced in my life. Prior to her, I had seen multiple therapists, and had been given multiple diagnoses. My time with Ann had released me from previous definitions and the work we did together led to me to different places in my life. Ann is an active listener, she is honest, and asks questions that will assist you out of walls that you or others may have unknowingly created for yourself. I see that Ann genuinely cares, and she does this with purpose. I recommend her endlessly.

I started working with Ann about three years ago during a pretty long and dark period of my life. I've seen countless different psychiatrists and therapists over the years, but Ann has been the only one to ask me the right questions, to push me out of my comfort zone, to help me to start to accept myself. The work is challenging and sometimes frustrating, but Ann understands that and is committed to helping her patients work through those complications. I was incredibly hesitant to join social therapy, especially as someone who struggles with social anxiety and as someone who has never been able to say what they're really thinking. But Ann has created something incredible in group which has become so valuable to me--it's a real community, and something which I know I can always depend upon. I am not speaking lightly when I say that working with Ann has completely changed the trajectory of my life. She's the only person in the world who has helped me to feel secure and comfortable with myself.
