Ligia Orellana, LMFT

Hi! My name is Ligia, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist and I help you get to know your authentic self, unapologetically. I have created an inclusive private practice for first-generation BIPOC & LGBTQIA2S adults who struggle to feel safe as they are seen and have never been taught how to navigate their internal emotional world. Those who are facing inner conflicts and feelings that they do not understand. Faced with indecisiveness daily; not knowing what you want because of not being attuned to who you are. 

I specialize in working with people who are looking to increase their emotional awareness, lean into who they are without fear, and want to struggle less with people pleasing in their relationships. Adults who struggle with boundary making, breaking generational traumas, unhealthy relationships, and navigating their sexual/gender identities.

We work together exploring concerns around imbalances you have been experiencing that brings you into therapy. We will identify the common thread and make connections from your childhood to adulthood. Through understanding your story as an individual- your beliefs, values, and relationships that have shaped you. Tapping into how fear and anxiety has overtaken your life.

We work towards finding a balance for yourself in different facets of your life, and moving past feelings of guilt and shame towards a person who can feel peace and confidence. At the end of our time together; you feel more confident in making authentic and affirming choices, gain control of symptoms, and struggle less with worried thoughts around your relationship with yourself and others.

Finding the right Anxiety Therapist to build that human connection can be hard!
I know it can feel like a big step to call a therapist for the 1st time or the tenth, but I’ll make it easy. We’ll spend 15-minutes on the phone and I’ll let you know how or if I can help. If I am not the right person, I’ll do my best to get you to the right person.
