Ann Rippel

My communication style

I am very supportive, warm, and non-judgmental. Everyone says I am easy to talk to, and clients say they feel very comfortable opening up in sessions. I am very inclusive, and I look forward to helping you through your personal and unique journey.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been someone whom everyone felt like they could talk to, even from a young age. I think I naturally provide a safe, non-judgmental space for people to express how they truly feel. I enjoy helping people, and I think therapy is a creative process because everyone is different and has different needs.

My goals for you

I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and I want to help you with your unique goals for therapy. Everyone's goals are valid and unique to them. I help you discover your own goals and help you achieve your unique wellness goals.

Our first session

In the first session, we get to know each other, and I ask the standard intake questions. Then, we collaborate on your goals for treatment, and I double-check that I notated your goals correctly. At the end of the session, I explain confidentiality and practice policies, affirm your decision to begin therapy, and provide scheduling options.
