You may be the one everyone turns to, yet feel anxious, exhausted, or unsure how to ask for what you need. Maybe you say yes to avoid disappointing others, replay conversations in your head, or feel guilty when you rest. If this sounds familiar, I offer a space where you can speak openly, feel understood, and begin caring for yourself, too.
I’m Ana Baratta, PhD, LPCC, a bilingual Latina licensed clinical counselor with more than 27 years of experience. I help women work through anxiety, people-pleasing, self-doubt, and painful relationship experiences. I also support women navigating infertility and pregnancy loss, a part of my work shaped by my own experience with loss.
As a Salvadoran woman and immigrant, I understand how belonging, family expectations, and cultural values can influence how we see ourselves. We can explore what those experiences mean for you, including the traditions you cherish and the expectations that feel heavy.
My style is warm, honest, and practical. Together, we will explore the roots of your patterns and build skills to help you manage anxiety, trust your voice, and maintain boundaries even when it feels uncomfortable. I draw from CBT, EMDR, relational trauma work, and somatic techniques, adapting our work to your needs and pace.
My practice is fully online, with services in English and Spanish. I also provide psychological evaluations for immigration cases, including VAWA, asylum, U visas, and hardship waivers, with care and respect for each person’s story.
