Annemarie Sudermann, MA

If I could give a rating lower than 1star, I would. Today I had to make a police report against Ammemarie… That’s how bad things got and I wasn’t even in her office for more than 5 minuets. My boyfriend has been going to her for several months and he had told her at the beginning that he wanted me to be a part of the therapy and that he wanted me to be able to talk to her about his counseling (he asked to sign a release, but she told him that there was no such thing, which isn’t true, but that a verbal agreement was fine). So I had come in with him once before with no issue, I thought she had good insight, although I did find her a bit pushy, but I didn’t voice any concerns and I felt over all it went well. That was more than a month ago. So today I had a break in my morning schedule and my boyfriend ask me to come along to his meeting with Annemarie. I thought this would be good because I want to be a supportive part of his counseling. I also wanted to help address a plan, because she had been reluctant to tell my boyfriend what kind of therapy she felt he needed and what the plan was for completing his therapy. I don’t know what happened between last time and this time, but this time I was immediately not welcome. She told me it was not good for me to be there, my boyfriend and I both disagreed, however she made it very clear that she was unwilling to do the session with me there so I said I would leave. I got up and walked towards the door and asked my boyfriend for the car keys (I had some errands to run and he still had the whole hour left of his session). At that time he said that he wanted to leave as well, to this Annemarie got up out of her chair and placed herself between the two of us demanding that my boyfriend stay. I asked again for the keys and at that time Annemarie pointed her finger directly in my face and said «You are a bi*ch, you’re a bi*ch!» I absolutely could not believe that a professional said this to me and I felt like it was not a safe situation considering her aggressive language and being so close to me, so I turned around to leave. While I was walking out of the office, Annemarie pushed me from behind with both hands out of the door. It was the most outrageous displace that I have ever seen from a professional person or really any adult. I still can’t believe what happened. I have no idea why Annemarie became so aggressive, but I would recommend that no one entrust her with their therapy. I work with many psychologist and with mental health patience and I can’t imagine ever becoming aggressive, even with the most difficult people, much less a concerned girlfriend who had already agreed to do what I had asked and was walking away from me. Completely unacceptable. The people that I work with would be hired for this kind of behavior.

I agree with Jennifer. T. Insightful and observant with the right mix of keeping it real and thoughtful/​attentive guidance. Annemarie is a crucial component of helping me navigate through what will be a long and complex healing process. Blessed to have found her.

Intuitive, insightful, with practical advice as well. We were lucky to find her.

I’ve had experience with a handful of therapists now and Annemarie is one of the best. She’s warm and supportive but also very insightful. I highly recommend her!
