Iliana Ochoa

Hi, I’m Iliana. I am a licensed clinical social worker. Clients often come to me for support with anxiety, depression, chronic illness, infertility, maternal mental health, self‐esteem concerns, and stress management. Whether you’re navigating a specific challenge or simply seeking a thoughtful, grounded space to talk through life, my goal is to help you feel more empowered and connected. I bring a culturally affirming lens to therapy, honoring the identity, values, and lived experiences that shape your story.

My therapeutic style is relational and holistic. I believe healing happens when we explore both the internal and external forces shaping who you are: your history, your relationships, and the systems around you. Together, we’ll work to understand your emotional patterns, strengthen your coping skills, and cultivate a sense of balance and self‐compassion, while integrating evidence‐based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), motivational interviewing, play therapy and mindfulness techniques.

In our first session, we’ll discuss what brought you to therapy, what you hope to gain, and how we can work together effectively. We’ll also begin discussing a treatment plan and review the foundational parts of therapy.
