Getting to know Ana Mateo

Hi there, I'm Ana! I’m Dr. Ana Mateo, a bilingual therapist born and raised in Puerto Rico with a PhD and over a decade of experience in the mental health field. I specialize in trauma and EMDR and work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, and challenging life transitions. I provide therapy in both English and Spanish. My focus I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally stuck, or affected by trauma, loss, betrayal, relationship difficulties, or major life changes. If your past is interfering with your present, I can help you understand those patterns, heal emotional wounds, and reconnect with the person you want to be. My approach I believe therapy should feel safe, personal, and purposeful. I tailor our work to your needs, using EMDR for trauma when appropriate, along with practical, evidence-based tools. Together, we’ll understand what is keeping you stuck, heal painful experiences, and build healthier ways of moving forward. My communication style You can expect me to be warm, compassionate, genuine, and honest. I listen without judgment and create space for you to speak openly, while also asking thoughtful questions that encourage deeper reflection. I will support you, gently challenge you when needed, and celebrate your progress along the way. My journey to mental healthcare Born and raised in Puerto Rico, I learned early how deeply culture, family, and life experiences shape who we become. My desire to understand people and help them heal led me to earn a PhD and specialize in trauma and EMDR. More than 10 years later, I remain passionate about helping people discover their strength and capacity to heal. My goals for you Therapy is a partnership, and your goals guide our work. Together, we’ll identify what you want to change, break larger goals into realistic steps, and recognize the patterns that may be holding you back.
