Dr. Annette Love
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC)
About Annette
Greetings,
My name is Dr. Annette Love and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor licensed in California, Nevada, Arizona, Illinois, Texas, and Florida. My educational background consists of a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, a Masters degree in Professional Counseling, and a Doctorate in Counseling Psychology. My greatest asset alongside formal education, is life experience.
I’ve worked with a variety of clientele; it is therefore very difficult to surprise me! My areas of expertise are anxiety, depression, grief, life changes, negative thought patterns, loneliness, stress, and workplace challenges. Overall, my experience in mental health began in 2003 (17 years).
If you’re wondering how we may work together, here’s the type of client I work best with:
An ideal client comes just as they are. They arrive with an expectation that help and support is near. They’re open to guidance, like having a copilot, as they navigate the peaks and valleys of life. Their goal is to get better, and they are willing to work towards this. This client wants someone positive, maybe even comical at times, yet knowledgeable and as passionate about them getting better as they are. Although at times life doesn’t seem fair, they’re willing to work through these struggles with support.
You’ve taken the first step to feeling better-kudos to you! I would be happy to learn how I can help you further.
Until we meet, be well.

What clients say
- “I was immediately comfortable and not judged. She was very supportive in helping me evaluate my relationships and opportunities for growth.”
- “Dr. Love is amazing. She helped me in so many areas in my life (self image, family relationships, romantic relationships, positive mindset and depression after job loss) that helped improve my mindset and close relationships. I feel more confident and pulled out of the dark place I was in but also equipped with strategies to better manage my emotions and relationships in the future. You definitely have to bring a willing mindset to change how you think and be ready to open up but she does an amazing job helping you along the way.”
- “We are quite early in our work together, but Dr. Love has quickly had an impact on my life. I'm struggling with personal, parenting and professional issues and everything is a bit of a mess - she has helped me to focus on the most important work and helped me gain insights as quickly as the first session. I am confident I have a knowledgeable and empathetic ally in my corner!”
