Hi, I'm Analia. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and a Certified School Counselor in Virginia, as well as a National Board Certified Counselor. As a therapist working in English or Spanish, I am interested in helping you address your counseling goals whether they are to discover yourself, to feel better, to adjust to life's transitions, to improve your relationships, to grieve the loss of a loved one, or to find balance in your busy life. Together we can work on you achieving your optimal wellbeing. I studied at the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina, at Virginia Tech, and George Mason University. I have over twenty years of experience in private practice and in public schools at the secondary level in Arlington, Virginia. I use an eclectic approach to therapy, with tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Brief-Solution Oriented techniques, Mindfulness, Psycho-education with Interpersonal skills, and Structural/Strategic Couple's Therapy strategies. Through any of those approaches, I am here to work with you on your emotional health. I have supervised Master’s level students in School Counseling at George Washington University for three years. I have worked extensively with teenagers, adults, couples, and families helping them navigate the spectrum of presenting problems that they bring to therapy. I am looking forward to working with you, too!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session we will spend some time reviewing Intake forms and procedures. I might ask you questions about your life, so that I get a good picture as to what brings you to therapy. I will try to get to know you during our first session, to include your strengths, what strategies have worked for you before, and what solutions you have tried to the problems you bring to therapy. During our first session we might discuss interventions you could try on your own until I see you again.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a therapist, I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, loss and grief, relocation, mid-life crisis, immigration, and career exploration and changes. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I specialize in issues related to relationships, family reunification, blended families, and couples counseling. I enjoy counseling in English or Spanish. I embrace cultural diversity and work with clients from all different backgrounds.
