Annie asks the right questions, gives honest guidance, and really helps you see things clearly. Every session with her left me feeling so focused and empowered and excited to apply what I learned. She cares about clients so much and even follows up between sessions, which I think really shows how invested she is in your growth.

Testimonials
The women I work with don’t come to me because their lives aren’t working. They come because their lives look impressive and still feel exhausting, hollow, or like something essential is missing. What changes isn’t just how they feel in session — it’s the marriage that gets easier, the Sunday-night dread that finally quiets, the moment they realize they haven’t braced for criticism in weeks. Here’s what they have to say about the work.

In addition to having a warm, open personality she is very intelligent, gifted and passionate. My trust in Annie began with a large piece of group work where she helped me get in touch with parts of myself that were previously out of reach. My admiration for Annie also developed during that experience and from being in contact with her empathic abilities, collaborative style and overall strength. Annie is a fantastic clinician and partner in healing.

[I] was immediately struck by her warmth, openness and optimism. She lights up the room when she enters and her magnetism makes everyone around her feel loved. The care she places on her work is extraordinary – her passion for working with girls and women to help us become whole and achieve our dreams is truly inspiring. Whenever I have the opportunity to sit with Annie, I feel truly heard and inevitably feel better about myself after our time together.

Annie blends professionalism with compassion and walks the profound line between the individual and the communal. Her eye is focused on one person one at a time and yet her vision leads toward health for the whole. I am in awe of her personal integrity and balance, her intelligence, wit, and care. Annie cares. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

Masterclasses & Courses
I’ve done so much structured work to change my thought patterns and build up my coping skills through Annie’s educational approach, and it has made a huge difference in my life. The systematic learning and self-development work has been truly empowering.
A.G.
Annie, thank you so much for this information. I have to say reading the first time was extremely painful (yes, that is me) but I try to read it every few days so I don’t feel so many overwhelming emotions… Information is power though, when we know how to use it.
K.W.
I’ve been positively impacted by Annie’s teachings on boundaries… I’ve come to learn boundaries are super important! One thing I appreciate about Annie’s work is her tone. I never feel like I’m being preached to, lectured, or blamed.
K.L.
Hi Annie! I just wanted to drop a quick thanks for the class. I’ve been doing the work with the harder members of my family. My dad called me today crying and we had a good quick conversation where I told him what I need and he responded very well. I was talking to my therapist about it and she congratulated me on the boundaries I set and have been holding. I appreciate your work so much and the class. Whatever happens, moving forward it feels great to be so honest with my family in a way that they can hear me. I hope you enjoy your weekend and you get all the love and support returning to you that you so freely give to others. My dad has never done what he did today. Not even close so it seems like my healing is throwing a wrench in the family system. Thanks again!
B.S.
So I was initially concerned that the course would not address my family of origin concerns. I was trafficked by my mother and grandmother, and both sides of my family were really hard. I was actually pleasantly surprised in the course that, even though the topic of trafficking was not directly addressed, all of the course content, as well as the course bonuses, actually felt supportive and extremely supportive in my particular circumstance.
A.M.
I definitely thought my family dysfunction would be way too hard for this to really make any difference so I figured if it didn’t work with my family it would still be good for work and other relationships. boundaries feel the most difficult with family members but the tools in this class are incredibly useful in less complicated relationships and it’s helping me to learn how to set and hold boundaries when I wasn’t taught how to do it. Getting to learn this with such great support in a warm and soothing environment was just too good of an opportunity to pass up. We have to learn it eventually anyway so might as well do it with a gifted therapist in a cohort of like-minded companions.

Annie, with your writing, you are making an important contribution to a wider audience than could ever meet with you one on one. You’re a gifted writer–you offer empathy and clear headed explanations for complicated issues. You address real life issues in a user friendly/supportive way. It’s beautiful and a gift. AND, you back up what you say with solid research.
L.R.
This was such a thoughtful and insightful read! I love how you frame the family genogram as a tool for self-reflection and intergenerational awareness rather than just a clinical exercise. The way you connect it to patterns, relationships, and personal growth really resonates.
A.W.
Excellent comparison and perspective, Annie Wright Psychotherapy. Maybe bc I’ve always thought of it this way (Matrix lover here). Morpheus did, in a way, let Neo know it would be painful, the truth often is. Especially when we’ve worked hard for years to hide those awful truths from ourselves.
K.W.
Great article, excellently written and love the client examples interwoven thank you for sharing your expertise.
S.N.
I think it’s a tremendously powerful analysis. I know that it has triggered realisations in myself and with others with whom I have mentioned this.
W.H.
Annie, I’m so grateful for this article and space. It matters so much to have these important conversations and break the silence around trauma.
G.L.S.
Dear Annie, so pleased to get a deeper understanding of the complexity of relationship after reading this article. A degree of eased has since settled into my crowded thoughts with what i am going through at the moment.
N.R.
Such an interesting article, have often wondered about this too (with curiosity / no judgement) Very insightful, thank you!
M.V.M.
Thank you for this brilliant essay today. “They understand that the work isn’t about choosing between family and ambition. It’s about expanding your capacity to hold both love and boundaries, connection and authenticity, loyalty and growth.”
E.B.
I’m so grateful to have found your Substack. I see so much of myself in your posts (hello, hiding in a packed calendar!). And what I enjoy about your writing is your skill at delving deep behind the whys of behavior–and also providing practical applications folks can try to walk a new path. Thank you for opening your wisdom to the world! I can’t wait to keep reading and sharing your work.
A.K.
This email was amazing. You gave the parts application outside of ‘x does this because of y’ textbook examples.
Thanks so much for writing it.

Insightful and wise, Annie.

I always get so much out of your work! Thank you for sharing.

I consider you to be a new generation Louise Hay. Kind and gentle with helping others to deal with sharp edges from their past!
K.K.
I’ve been positively impacted by Annie’s teachings on boundaries in that I am now mindful of my boundaries and am now more comfortable enforcing my boundaries and leaving a situation once I feel they have been compromised. I am also much more comfortable keeping my parents at arm’s length since the only thing they ever seem to do is speak harshly and critically about the way I live my life. I also find myself staying neutral and non-committal when they start with the guilt trips about not seeing them more, being more involved in the day-to-day workings of their lives, etc.. It’s very hard to be around them without feeling traumatized and spiraling into a depression. I’ve come to learn boundaries are super important! One thing I appreciate about Annie’s work is her tone. I never feel like I’m being preached to, lectured, or blamed. Other therapists that I’ve had have taken a harsher tone with me, and I found that I was less willing to open up to them and less willing to share my true feelings because I was afraid of being blamed for my emotions or having my feelings dismissed. I really like how Annie approaches topics in a gentle and friendly way.
K.L.
You have given me encouragement that I’m on the right path towards a more healthy state of mind. Everyone needs to practice good boundaries!
