Others have gone before you

“Ann walks beside me on my recovery journey. She is present and listens in a wholehearted way. She provides wisdom and guidance for me on my path. I am so grateful!”

— LH, client

“My work with Ann has been life changing. Ann’s compassion, combined with her knowledge of addiction and its impacts on families, has given me a safe space to learn, vent, and begin again. Ann requires that I lead on what I need, with her right by my side teaching me, championing my wins, and always recognizing my efforts. I recommend Ann Spataro as a therapist without reservation. Ann is a committed and dedicated therapist and a very generous person.”

— SS, client

“I have journeyed with Ann as a colleague over the past 9 years, and she has consistently shown up with genuine empathy and desire to understand her clients. This has allowed her to develop strong therapeutic relationships, which have led to healing for many individuals and families. Ann has found her calling, and I hear that echoed in the multitude of voices of those she has helped. As a colleague, she shows up in the same way for her fellow therapists. Without reservation, I would recommend Ann to anyone struggling with addiction, co-dependency, grief, and complex family dynamics.”

— Viola Chavez, LCSW

“I began seeing Ann in 2017 after a very traumatic event. We had a great rapport right away and I felt safe, which is very difficult when in the throws of PTSD. She gave me the one safe space I had to talk and process in a healthy way. She helped me understand the events in a compassionate and empowering way and I became a better, stronger me than I was before. In the years since, life has brought many tragedies and changes I could not have predicted in 2017. Ann has been my constant through these storms and I look forward to each session knowing I will have a more solid perspective and a plan to care for myself so I can care for those I love. Ann's consistent compassionate care has been my lifeline and my safe place and the changes she has helped me make have improved how I relate to and care for family and friends and to allow them to care for me.”
