Great to meet you!

Welcome! My name is Anna Porcalla. I received my Master of Social Work from San Jose State and have been helping individuals in therapeutic settings for the past four years.

I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life.

Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.

My approach to therapy

I feel that all individuals have the solutions they are looking for inside of them, and I am here to help identify those in a way that feels right to them. I look forward to supporting individuals motivated to create positive change, those who are willing to engage in the therapeutic process, and seeking a supportive and non-judgmental space to explore feelings and challenges. I cannot wait to see the growth, increased and self-awareness that will lead to a fulfilling, balanced life.

What you can expect from me

Together, we will identify your challenges and goals—where you want your life to be a month, six months, or a year from now. Then, we'll identify options and strategies you can use to get there. You'll leave the session with a better understanding of what you're facing and an "actions I can take right now" approach. There will always be room for suggestions concerning our work together, including keeping each other accountable.
