Getting to know Ana Cacao-Boczek

Hi there, I'm Ana! Hola, and welcome. I'm a proud Latina therapist dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges with compassion, cultural connection, and clinical care. As a bilingual (English & Spanish) LCSW, I bring over 13 years of experience supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, HIV/AIDS diagnosis, identity exploration, and life transitions, through trauma-informed care. I specialize in working with the Latinx community and communities of color, creating a space where culture is acknowledged and understood. Growing up as an immigrant Latina, I understand the complex layers of cultural expectations, generational patterns, and impostor syndrome, and I'm here to walk beside you toward growth and healing. My approach My approach combines evidence-based practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care with a deep respect for your lived experiences. This is your time, and you don't have to go through it alone. In our work together, I aim to honor your story, your resilience, and your voice. My focus The type of clients I work with are identified as Latinx or Hispanic and seek cultural understanding. Are bicultural or bilingual and want a therapist who understands code-switching, acculturation, and generational dynamics. Value cultural humility, social justice, and inclusive practices. Are immigrants or children of immigrants dealing with identity issues or assimilation stress? My communication style My communication style is a blend of professionalism, cultural values, and genuine warmth and care. I want my people to feel like they're not just being heard but that they are understood, respected, and cared for. My journey to mental healthcare Becoming a therapist wasn't just a career choice- it was personal. Growing up in a Latinx household, I was surrounded by a strong family with strong values of resilience and sacrifice.
