Getting to know Joshua Anaya

I have special interest in working with people seeking support for trauma, anxiety, burnout, life transitions, or relationship challenges. Grounded in practice that honors individuals' strengths and history, I aim to build a strong therapeutic connection with you and explore how past experiences and relationships impact your mind and body in the present. I offer particular insights based on my lived experience as a queer Mexican-American therapist and will provide a warm and affirming space for you to move away from shame or past traumatic harms toward self-compassion and a stronger sense of agency in your life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

In my work, I draw largely from relational, psychodynamic, somatic, and trauma-centered frameworks to help individuals strengthen their relationships to themselves, their bodies, and those near them. Further, I take a social justice approach to therapy that acknowledges the role that power and oppressive systems have in shaping mental health.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Together, we will co-create a space that honors your lived experience, unique skills, and intrinsic capacity for growth and meaningful change. I take a nonjudgmental, exploratory approach to therapy and invite you to bring all parts of yourself to the room. I welcome creativity, joy, humor, messiness, and everything else that makes you who you are.
