Client testimonials
"Susanna was prompt with her call and answered all the questions I had. When discussing what I was seeking counsel for, I could tell she would be a good fit for my needs."
- Zencare client • September 2021"We quickly established a connection and made plans to move on from the initial call."
- Zencare client • September 2020"We made an instant connection with a quick and to-the-point conversation. I made an appointment straight away."
- Zencare client • September 2020"Susanna was warm and friendly. She patiently listened to my concerns and was eager to help."
- Zencare client • September 2020"I saw Dr. Angelillo so she can help me with my depression. She quickly became familiar with my situation and tried to understand what I was going through. She was able to offer advice and ways to make myself happier. She is also open to calls when you feel that you need to talk. She is the best!
She is not your typical therapist that just sits and ask questions, but instead is able to have a full on conversation with you. It’s great!"
- Brown University student • June 2015"I see Mrs. Angelillo once a week, sometimes twice a month to maintain a good attitude in life. She projects calmness and positive energy that puts me at ease, whether it is the peak of a hard situation or simply coping with uneventful life occurrences. She is a great listener, has a wide range of personal experiences to draw from, and possesses a sophisticated understanding of therapy."
- Client in mid-30s • July 2015"In the past, I have tried to make connections with therapists; however, I never went to more than one or two sessions. I am grateful that I was able to find and to make a connection with Susanna. Susanna is a very warm and nonjudgmental person. She is an amazing listener and she is also reliable. Susanna works to maintain a confidential relationship with her patients and she is available as much (or as little) as you need her. It is without hesitation that I recommend her to anyone that needs help during a crisis and/or to have a safe place to vent as needed."
- Educator and Mother in early 30s • June 2015"Incredibly knowledgeable and professional therapist. Careful, empathetic, extremely helpful and respectful. 10/10, beyond perfection"
