Licensed to practice in Maryland and accepts 44 insurances. Specializes in Coping Skills, Crisis Intervention, Depression
Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker based in Maryland. I received my master's degree from the University of Maryland School of Social Work and have been practicing for 14 years clinically and working in the human services field for 27 years. I have experience working in law enforcement and have an undergraduate degree in criminal justice. I have an Employee Assistance Program certification which focuses on the work/life balance and solution-focused therapy which assists in finding solutions to problems to improve clients' daily quality of life.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then discuss specific challenges you're facing. This will help me to recommend helpful interventions in the first therapy session and create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Having worked in human services for many years, I have worked with a diverse clientele. This experience has assisted me with developing experience in assessing individual's challenges and how to match solutions to challenges to produce goal-oriented results.
I love working with clients who really want to focus on improving their lives by engaging in the therapeutic alliance with me by exploring solutions together to positively improve/change life's challenges. This treatment modality (type of treatment) can help clients improve their, daily, quality of life.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I currently hold a certification in Employee Assistance Programs (EAP), from the University of Maryland School of Social Work, which is the foundation of solution-focused therapy. This modality (form of treatment) helps clients find solutions to problems instead of focusing solely on the problem. Solution-focused therapy also incorporates the work/life balance which can be a struggle in today's busy world. When our life is more in balance we create a positive environment in which we can thrive!
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to treat mental health conditions. I have worked with clients utilizing CBT in outpatient settings to assist with improving their daily lives.
Couples Counseling
Couples therapy aims to improve the relationship of the two people involved - not just by talking about "problems" within the relationship, but striving for improvements through actions interpersonally and as an individual. I have worked with couples successfully in therapeutic settings.

I had an absolutely amazing session with Miss Annette, she was extremely insightful intelligent with her approach as well as solution oriented. She was also very understanding to my situation as well as the different situations that I'm navigating.

My sessions with Ms. Hackey have also been enlighting and empowering, so glad I choose her…..

Dr. Hackey is warm and easy to open up to. Her suggestions are often worth considering and/or adhering to. I have spoken to several therapists and Dr. Hackey is one of a few that I have felt most comfortable with. She's like genie in a bottle so to speak. "Ok Dr. Hackey, it's time for you to come out of that bottle to share some much needed wisdom". :)
