Getting to know Amanda Ananian

I believe that seeking help is one of the bravest and most powerful choices a person can make. I'm deeply committed to supporting my clients as they find relief, rediscover joy, and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives. With nearly 12 years of experience in the field and a significant amount of lived experience overcoming adversity, I bring both professional expertise and genuine empathy to my work. I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Southern California in 2016 and became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in 2019. I began my career as a crisis worker in child welfare before transitioning into hospital and inpatient settings, where I focused on crisis intervention and acute psychiatric care. In 2021, I opened my private practice. I specialize in working with individuals diagnosed with bipolar disorder and other mood or personality disorders, those experiencing chronic suicidal ideation, depression, or self-harm, and individuals with trauma histories. My therapeutic style is compassionate, strengths-based, and grounded in honesty. I primarily use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), while also integrating elements of reality-based therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Every session is tailored to the unique needs of the person sitting across from me.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
