“Ana helped me a lot when I needed it most. She is very professional and respectful. The only thing is I didn't know my therapy sessions were already over. I thought we were going to have one every month. I still don't know if I can schedule a session once a month?”

“Biblically based therapy that positively challenges me every session. Instead of just discussing my week, Ana asks questions throughout our discussion to help find the root of things, then works towards growth and healing.”

Getting to know Ana Zavala
Hi there, I'm Ana!
With so many moving pieces happening all the time around us, take some time to be still and know that He is God. There is a place of freedom and healing available for you here.
My approach
I use Solution-Focused Brief therapy to help you get to your desired goal and help navigate roadblocks that maybe you haven't been able to do on your own just yet. I also incorporate Narrative therapy, which helps us feel understood and encouraged that others have gone through similar situations.
My focus
There are hard moments in life that we can not seem to shake off, no matter what we get into; they just do not go away. That feeling of not being enough, not being accepted, or not being who people think you are, not feeling loved. There is hope, friend. This is not your forever if you choose to step into the healing journey.
My communication style
We will gently walk through the wounds that have been keeping you from running freely into your destiny. There is also encouragement for those who desire to go through life coaching and need help getting unstuck.
My journey to mental healthcare
Initially started working at my local church as a counselor and was encouraged to continue my education. This was not something I had planned, but it unraveled into a passion. I have worked in a psych hospital as a social worker and now strive to partner with local therapists who incorporate their faith with mental health.
My goals for you
Through understanding and listening to what you have been through, we will be able to identify the wounds to be able to heal, restore, and empower you towards a life worth living.
My first session with you
The first session is about getting to know you. Your background and history alongside with your expectations of therapy and relaying a realistic standard that can be achieved. We will develop goals and steps to get to your desired destination.
