Getting to know Ana Gutierrez

Hi there, I'm Ana! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University Long Beach. I have over 15 years of experience in outpatient and school-based mental health settings. I help young people, adults, and families see how their feelings, thoughts, choices, and actions affect each other to improve their quality of life. My approach My therapy is client-centered, strength-based, and culturally responsive. I commonly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care, Systems Theory, and Mindfulness approaches. My focus I help clients better understand their mental health and develop wellness goals. Many clients are unsure of triggers leading to unhealthy behaviors and want to manage their feelings better. Over the years, I have developed a trusting, therapeutic, and problem-solving approach to their specific challenges. My communication style I create a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients feel understood and empowered to explore challenges and strengths. Building a strong therapeutic alliance is central to my practice, as meaningful progress begins with trust and connection. My journey to mental healthcare My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by my passion for helping others. Early in my career, working in child welfare and educational settings, I saw how mental health challenges affect individuals, families, and communities. Witnessing youth overcome adversity and grow has been incredible. Becoming a therapist allows me to offer guidance, tools, and a safe space for healing and growth.
