New to Grow
My name is Ana Vasquez. I am a mother, wife, Latina, and psychotherapist. Through my personal life experience and professional training, I can support you in an individual or couples’ psychotherapy process as you navigate life’s challenges from a safe, nonjudgmental space with empathic listening. My main areas of expertise in psychotherapy include: Attachment and Parenting: As a mother, I know that pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood can activate our own childhood wounds. Motherhood involves a transformation of the self and of the way we relate to our partner, our own parents, our support networks, and friends. In psychotherapy, I will support you through this process and help you find balance between your role as a mother and as a professional. Relationships and Family Challenges: Through individual therapy, I can support you in understanding the generational patterns that have influenced your past and current relationship choices. I can help you identify the non-functional relationship patterns you may have repeated over time that have not contributed to choosing or creating a healthy partnership. I can also accompany you in the process of creating and sustaining a stable, long-term relationship from an emotionally healthy place. Immigration: Migrating to another country involves a major life change that impacts us internally and challenges us on many levels. Migration often requires adapting to a new culture, a new language, new ways of being in the world, and new social norms. In psychotherapy, I will accompany you through the multiple changes and personal adjustments that emerge during this process.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first sessions, you can expect a gentle and supportive process that helps you reconnect with yourself and identify the areas you wish to strengthen and transform. What makes my practice unique is the way I hold space for your full self—helping you see and embrace even the parts that feel difficult or shadowed, while discovering new and healthier ways
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
One of my greatest strengths is my commitment to both professional training and personal growth. I am warm, compassionate, and intentional about creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, remembered, and free to be themselves. I genuinely care about each person, their story, and the relationships that matter to them. In our work together, you can expect: * A safe and compassionate space where you can slow down and be heard. * Support in understanding what’s beneath your stress, fear, or emotional overload. * Practical strategies to help you feel grounded, connected, and emotionally regulated. * Guidance in strengthening your relationships—with yourself, your partner, or your children. * A therapist who honors your culture, identity, and lived experience.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work with adults, couples, and parents who want to improve their relationships, strengthen emotional bonds, and better understand how early experiences impact current patterns. I especially support clients navigating pregnancy, postpartum, parenting challenges, and relationship stress, who are seeking deeper connection, emotional safety, and meaningful change. My goal is to help you feel more stable, confident, and connected—to yourself and to the people you love. Small steps can bring big shifts, and healing is absolutely possible. I offer services in English and Spanish, and all sessions are available online for your convenience. If what you’ve read resonates with you, I’d be honored to walk with you in this next step. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a consultation.
Attachment-based
I am trained in attachment-based approaches, including Circle of Security Parenting, which allows me to guide parents in understanding their children’s emotional needs and in promoting connection, emotional safety, and secure attachment. Through this framework, I support caregivers in strengthening the parent–child bond in ways that foster healthy emotional development and regulation in children. My clinical work is also informed by inner child and attachment theory, with a focus on how early relational experiences shape emotional bonds in adulthood. I help clients explore how unmet emotional needs and relational wounds from childhood can contribute to anxious or avoidant attachment patterns, which often interfere with the ability to form secure and satisfying relationships, including romantic partnerships. By integrating attachment-based principles, I support people, in increasing emotional awareness, repairing relational ruptures, and developing healthier, more secure ways of relating across the lifespan
