Meet Annette Feerst
Licensed Clinician available to assist you in your life journey. Please note I do not prescribe stimulants or scheduled drugs.
Hello! I’m Annette Feerst, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Scottsdale, AZ. With over a decade of experience, I specialize in helping individuals navigate challenges such as addictions, trauma, depression, and anxiety disorders.
At Think, Feel, and Heal Therapy I offer a supportive and compassionate environment where you can explore your feelings and work towards healing. My therapeutic approach is primarily EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy), using a client-centered approach.
Previously, I have worked with several different mental health organizations providing tailored therapy solutions and ensuring quality care.
I completed my Master's in Science from California State University, Fresno, and hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Purdue University. I am dedicated to continuous learning and improvement in the behavioral health field.
Whether you’re dealing with a specific issue or simply seeking to improve your emotional well-being, I'm here to help. Let's work together to think, feel, and heal.
Please note I do not prescribe stimulants or scheduled drugs.
