Getting to know Ana Maldonado

Hi there, I'm Ana! My name is Ana Maldonado, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Ventura, California. I currently work with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults, adolescents, and families, specializing in anxiety, stress, and family conflict. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Strength-Based Therapy to help my clients make progress and start feeling better. My approach My approach to therapy varies based on each client's needs. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Strength-Based Therapy, as both modalities help me and the client build a shared understanding of their reality and allow us to work together to chart a path forward. My focus I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for adults and adolescents dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, and family conflict. I work to help my clients navigate these difficult situations and build skills that allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life. My communication style My communication style is welcoming, understanding, and respectful. I understand that attending therapy can be difficult, and I strive to provide a trusting environment where my clients feel comfortable talking with me about anything. I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment. My journey to therapy My journey to becoming a therapist began in college. I initially wanted to become a college counselor because I wanted to be a source of direction and inspiration to young adults. During my graduate education, I realized how much I could help individuals through therapy. All my life, I've loved helping people and decided to pursue this profession to help individuals improve their quality of life.
