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.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

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.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

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.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

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.
