Ana Zuber

Welcome and thank you for checking my profile. I am a first-generation college graduate, bilingual and offering sessions in both English and Portuguese, neurodivergent, and lived-experience-informed therapist with an extensive background working with people from all walks of life.

I earned my BA in Social Work in Brazil (UFF / Rio de Janeiro) and my Master of Social Work (MSW) at East Tennessee State University. Both of my internship placements (undergraduate and graduate) were completed in Psychiatric Emergencies. Throughout my career, I have supported clients across inpatient psychiatric units, emergency departments psych intake, managed care organization, state hospital, crisis management, and school-based settings.

Together, we will navigate each session based on what you need and your comfort

level, using practical, effective steps to help you reach your goals. My approach is

rooted in Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and strengths-

based techniques — adapting to what fits you best rather than following a one-size-fits-

all model. I offer sessions in both English and Portuguese, and I bring neurodivergent-

affirming care, cultural humility, and lived experience to every session. Whether you are

working through anxiety, trauma, grief, or life transitions, my goal is to help you move

forward at your own pace.

During our first session, I'd love to explore what brings you to therapy right now and

what you hope to achieve. We'll talk about your current challenges, your background,

and what feels most important to address. I'll also share how I work so you can get a

sense of whether we're a good fit. There is no pressure to share more than you are

comfortable with — I'll follow your lead. By the end, we'll have a starting point and a

path forward together.
