Ann is the most compassionate, caring and professional therapist I have ever known. Although I’ve only worked with two others in my adult years and I’m OVER 65 now, I wish I had had an Ann to talk to through my 20’s straight to my 60’s! Ann is brilliant in her ways of working with you to solve issues together in sensible ways that are meaningful to not only yourself as the patient, but those around you in your life as well. Ann is one of the sources for « calm » and support I’ve ever known in my life. I am so grateful to her for so much.

Ann is an e excellent therapist. She understands my issues and seeks for ways I can move forward. She uses a variety of modalities. I left therapy for awhile and needed to come back and I went straight to Ann. She is a treasure.

I’ve only been doing BetterHelp for a short amount of time. Ann was and is my first recommendation therapist and I do enjoy our time talking. She gets right to the root of things but will slow down if she thinks we are moving to fast. She is very helpful.

And McVaugh is caring, professional and compassionate. she does this work because she loves it. She truly cares about her clients. I feel I can trust her with whatever I need to say and she is concerned about my well being and my friend's also, who has also undergone injustice. She encouraged me to text her between appointments and answers everything before she goes to sleep at night. She is committed to us.

Ms. Macvaugh has been a great pairing for my needs. The process of finding the correct therapist for me was easy and quick. So far we have had 5 sessions and I feel that she is a good fit - responsive, validating my concerns, and providing solid solutions to help me to cope with my issues. My 'homework' has been straightforward and very helpful. I highly recommend Ann Macvaugh for anyone who has PTSD, childhood trauma, or other difficult to deal with symptoms, don't want mask the symptoms with drugs, and are interested in more long-term solutions.

After a rocky start on Betterhelp with another therapist, I found Ann. She responds in a very timely fashion, and it's clear that she cares. I would highly recommend her, and I look forward to working with her more.
Written on Jan 15, 2022 after therapy with Ann for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, lgbt, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, eating disorders, self esteem, and career difficulties
I got lucky finding Ann. Otherwise, the platform is not very clear and takes some learning to maneuver it. Once you get started and therapy the session seem to open up a little bit more but finding a therapist and sessions are a bit problematic. The only reason I will continue with this service is because of my current therapist, Ann.

Really great to speak to and told me what I needed to hear in order to realize I needed to get out of a really bad relationship. It was definitely a tough process, but I feel much better after having made the right decision and know I truly deserve the best.
