Clinical Social Work/Therapist

Handwriting analysis and projective personality assessment (analyzing dreams, drawings and stories I ask you to bring in) allow me to get to know you... fast. In two sessions I can come up with some pretty clear ideas about what you're all about and where we find your growth edge.

Annette Poizner Practice Description

I deal with the gamut of problems but specialize in working with problems that have been unresponsive to conventional psychotherapy. These include Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, Attention Deficit Disorder, Anorexia and more garden variety mental health symptoms (depression, anxiety, etc.). Visit my website for extensive media about this work.

Projective personality assessment lets me access your personality style and strengths by analyzing materials you submit. My doctoral dissertation explored the clinical use of graphology (handwriting analysis, a European clinical assessment tool). In treatment, I use hypnosis, NLP, Ericksonian techniques and a range of other modalities to facilitate change.

I have advanced training in Ericksonian psychotherapy and hypnosis and am strongly influenced by the psychology of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which provides a frame of reference for clinical assessment. I'm also interested in diet, nutrition as they relate to and impact mental health.
