Hello, my name is Anna Pantoja, I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker. My approach is person-centered therapy focusing on your emotions and feelings regarding any situation you are going through. I focus on finding what works for you in regard to therapy. Learning to navigate life, balance different identities as a whole person, learn to ground yourself again with your life, and find purpose. I focus on anxiety, life changes, women's issues, depression, and changing negative thinking patterns.
I use Person-Centered, Rogerian, Humanistic, DBT interventions, Narrative therapy, CBT, and a Strength-based approach. I work with foster youth, extended foster youth, new mothers, and men who have been in the criminal system. It feels like you are talking to someone who is approachable and will not judge your life journey.
I have worked with foster youth for more than 7 years and have worked in forensic settings. I love hearing people out, and providing psychoeducation on how trauma is stored and how it affects our decision-making but most importantly how to work through the trauma to live a more fulfilled life and create purpose.
