Luisa Anderson

I’m a therapist in my 40s, fluent in both English and Portuguese, with a passion for helping people find real solutions. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Brief Solution-Focused Therapy for adults and teens, and I also use play therapy techniques to help younger children. My specialty lies in helping parents support their children’s academic, social, and emotional success. I work with teenagers who are facing behavioral or emotional struggles, present with ADHD, suicidality, and stress as well as adults dealing with anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges.

With two graduate degrees in Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling, I bring a solid academic foundation to my work, but it’s my genuine desire to help others that truly drives me. I pride myself on being approachable, easy to talk to, and even a little funny when the moment calls for it. I’ve been told I’m knowledgeable and not afraid to challenge people when needed, but I always do it with compassion and respect.

My role is to support my clients in finding solutions and cultivating self-acceptance, so they feel confident in achieving their goals. I approach this work with patience, empathy, and understanding, while also being clear and direct. My focus is to guide my clients toward a healthier, more balanced path, and to help them stay on it—or gently help them find their way back when needed. I’m here to walk alongside you, offering support as you create meaningful change in your life.
