About the Therapist

Annie Dolan provides therapy that balances evidence-based techniques with a calm, grounded presence. She sees adults, couples, and families, helping clients improve communication, rebuild trust, and navigate transitions with compassion and practical skill.

Her approach integrates mindfulness, CBT, and narrative exploration with an emphasis on emotional safety and self-compassion. Annie’s clients describe her style as warm, reflective, and deeply attuned. She is currently pursuing advanced certification in hypnotherapy to support clients in deeper mind–body integration.
