“Annette is very easy to talk to and listens well.”

“Annette is one of the best and most substantive clinicians I have ever had the pleasure of working with; excellent therapy by any metric. Thanks!”

“A great listener, gives great advice, makes you think differently to understand different points of view, and is very engaging.”

“She takes a very analytical approach which works well for me and my partner. She is great at listening and not interrupting. And is unbiased in her approach. She gives you things to work on to help build up what skill you're looking to gain, whether its communication ect. She has a kind warm personality that's really inviting and puts you at ease. From the first meeting I knew she was a great fit for us. I've had several therapists in the past, and she has been the best one I've experienced.”

“Annette is very attentive and knowledgeable. I love my sessions with her.”

“Annette has been wonderful so far- my situation is complicated and there is a lot of CPTSD in addition to my diagnoses. Annette has been patient and kind while we unpack my mess and is easy to speak to- like chatting with a friend. I had previously had a couple negative therapy experiences and was resistant to starting therapy again…. Annette has changed my mind and I wish we had connected much earlier!”

“I highly recommend Annette. She strikes the perfect balance between being warm and personable while remaining deeply knowledgeable and professional. Her expertise is evident, yet she makes the environment feel safe and approachable.”

“She’s a gem of a human! She was there for me through the hardest time of my life and she always left me feeling calm, empowered, and able to breathe through the obstacles I was faced with. Her expertise and care was beyond appreciated. Would highly recommend her!!”

“Annette Nelligan is one of the best and most professional therapists I have had. I’ve had therapists and psychiatrists in several cities for almost 30 years arising from a bipolar 1 diagnosis in 2000. Annette Nelligan ranks among the very top of all of them, across any metric that matters to an informed and serious therapy patient. I could not be more happy and thankful to have Ms. Nelligan as my professional therapy provider across a range of of issues that we have been discussing for over 4 months and ongoing. Thank you.”

“Best therapist I ever met”

“Very good listener and can simplify immediate goals.”

“Wonderful lady. Kind and professional”

“We had a good first session, looking forward to more.”

“I really appreciate Annette's ability to listen empathetically and offer support when needed. She shows compassion during the hard stuff and that is needed .”

“Annette is a person centered therapist with a lot of experience”
