Dr Arann is very good and helped me greatly during a traumatic time in my life. The impression you get is of a highly qualified and trained therapist that you feel you can trust. The one problem I had was that he didn't take insurance, thereby limiting my ability to see him over an extended time. When I couldn't afford to go any more however it was not awkward at all and he understood my reasons for ending the relationship. I did feel that the primary goal was acheived, and I wasn't left without solutions.
