Greatest therapist of all time!

Written on Feb 21, 2022 after therapy with Annabella for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and eating disorders

Ms Batiz-McCandlish has great empathy for me in my distress. She has a candid yet professional way of telling me to not make excuses for others' contributing behaviours. I feel very safe with her because I can tell that she listens to me, from the way she is able to follow my life story. I particularly love the way she answers my questions fully, which is very satisfying. Although she is from the US and I am from Singapore, we are able to communicate well because she sees me as a person, and not a nationality. I additionally find therapy helpful in general, as opposed to self-help in this area, because of the way a trained professional is able to sequence things in their rightful order for me.

Annabella isn’t just an impressive bio, she’s also a very kind, caring and responsive therapist. She was an excellent match for me from the start and even in our first couple of weeks I have felt like the advice and responses she’s provided have been very helpful. We’ve only had one live session so far and she immediately set me at easy. I felt Ike I could have talked with her for hours. Great experience so far

Annabella was my third therapist on the app. I was about to give up but third time is the charm! She listens but isn’t afraid to call me out ( in a nice way) on my crap if I need some though love. I’m also glad she checks in on me because sometime I can try to hide from my problems. I talk to her like a friend and it wasn’t hard to connect with her.

I have had not hit it off with therapists in the past but as soon as Annabella and I had our first meeting, I knew I was in good hands. She understands my needs and helped me find my goals when I wasn't sure what my goals were to begin with but I knew I needed help. Now anytime I am feeling down or frustrated, I know can message her and she can get back to me in a timely manner.
