Ana Donis LMFT

During therapy, clients can expect to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their emotions. They will learn valuable coping skills and strategies to manage stress and anxiety effectively. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. Clients can expect to work collaboratively to address their specific challenges and goals. We will uncover patterns and explore underlying emotions, allowing them to develop a sense of empowerment and resilience. Together, we'll work through any negative beliefs or behavior patterns that may be hindering their personal growth and well-being. As a therapist with a focus on cultural competence, clients can also expect an inclusive and culturally sensitive therapeutic experience. I deeply value and respect individual differences, making sure that our sessions are tailored to their unique needs and backgrounds. Ultimately, clients can expect to see positive changes in their lives as they gain the tools and insights needed to overcome obstacles and thrive. My goal is to help each client unlock their true potential and achieve a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life.

Throughout my years as a therapist, I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to train and apply various theoretical approaches in my practice. This diverse experience has allowed me to tailor my treatment methods to the unique needs of each client. I have drawn from a range of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for addressing thought patterns and behaviors, Mindfulness-Based Therapies to cultivate present-moment awareness, Solution-Focused Therapy for goal-oriented support, Psychodynamic Therapy for exploring past experiences' influence, and Trauma-Informed Therapy to prioritize safety and empowerment. y integrating these different theoretical perspectives, I strive to create a supportive and collaborative therapeutic environment, empowering my clients on their journey toward growth, healing, and positive change.
