Hello. My name is Ana and I am a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (128445), in the beautiful state of California. I have been in the counseling and social work field for 25+ yrs. Simply stated, I was born to do therapy, it is a gift and an honor. I am a safe, trusting and caring person, that is able to connect with a diversity of people. I have worked with children, teens, elderly, foster care, gang members and most recently, death row inmates in prison.
I have found, through many of those experiences that emotional pain, feeling alone and experiencing anxiety or depression, is common even amongst many variables. I know that the desire to live a deeper, peaceful and meaningful life can also be a motivating and driving force. I too have done much of that internal work and reflection in my life. I have learned that it is OK to be just me without pressure, more compassion and living the authentic life I deserve. I would love the same for you.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Lake Forest, CA
Searching for therapists in Lake Forest starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist’s experience matches it. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, trauma, life changes, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care. A therapist’s profile can also show how they describe their style, what concerns they often support, and what you can expect in sessions.
In a smaller city like Lake Forest, local in-person appointment options may be more limited than in larger parts of Orange County. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in California. Some people prefer an office visit close to home, work, or nearby areas like Foothill Ranch, while others choose virtual sessions for schedule flexibility. As you narrow your search, compare appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand communication style, session structure, and fit.
Therapy in Lake Forest can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, take a wide range of insurance plans, and offer in-person or virtual appointments. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, review therapist profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
