LMFT, 5 years of experience
My name is Ana Maldonado and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Ventura, California. I am currently working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults, adolescents, couples and families, and specialize in anxiety, stress, and family conflict. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Strength Based Therapy to help my clients make progress and start feeling better.
The majority of our first session will be spent talking about how you've been feeling recently, and me asking questions to better understand why you may be feeling that way. During our first session, we will begin to build an initial connection which will help guide future sessions.
I provide a welcoming and calming environment in order to foster a therapeutic relationship. I work with clients utilizing my knowledge and experience to help them overcome obstacles and challenges.
I work with adults and adolescents who may be dealing with various forms of anxiety, depression, stress, and family conflict. I work to help my clients navigate these difficult situations and to build skills to allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life.
I utilize CBT to support clients in reducing thoughts and behaviors that have a negative impact in their life

Ana listens extremely well. She remembers things. She has helped me identify patterns in behavior and has provided real solutions for me to change and heal. I really can't say enough positive things about Ana. It took me a few tries to find the right therapist, but with Ana, therapy has truly changed my life!
