Annie McNeill, PsyD

Licensed clinical psychologist (PSY30678 & 6301019581)

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist who believes therapy should feel warm, collaborative, and useful. I bring a thoughtful, direct approach to my work and believe there is room for humor, even when things feel hard.

My goal is to create a space where clients and families feel understood, supported, and comfortable being themselves.

Why I Do This Work

I’m especially drawn to working with children and adolescents and the parents and families who support them. I know how much anxiety can affect an entire family—not just the person experiencing it.

I want young people to grow up without feeling like they have to organize their lives around anxiety. And I want parents to feel equipped to support their children without anxiety dictating what the whole family can or cannot do.

My goal is to help young people understand their anxiety, build confidence in facing it, and discover that they can do the things that matter to them—even when anxiety is along for the ride.

My Approach

I often tell clients at the beginning of therapy that they are the expert on themselves, and I’m the expert on feelings. They’re the boss, and I’m the sidekick. Together, we make a great team.

With children and adolescents, I let them lead with their goals and comfort zone. I meet them where they are, build trust, and help them move toward the things that matter to them at a pace that feels manageable.

Parents are also an important part of the team. When appropriate, I work closely with parents to understand what their child is experiencing and find ways to support them outside of therapy. Together, we can create a whole-team approach to helping anxiety take up less space in a young person’s life.

My Background

I grew up in Michigan and earned my undergraduate degree from the University of Notre Dame before completing my doctoral degree in clinical psychology at Roosevelt University.

Throughout my training and career, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families across a variety of clinical settings.

Before moving to Marin County, I established a private practice in Los Angeles. That experience continues to shape my work today, and I am excited to bring my practice to the Marin community.
