Anna Teresa Mejia, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Anna Teresa!

I use cognitive-based and holistic approaches in therapy while applying psycho-education throughout. My goal is to help you understand yourself better and achieve new potentials.

My focus

I work with couples, parents, teenagers, and individuals experiencing relationship stress, sexual abuse trauma, cultural trauma, work stress, depression, anxiety, attachment issues, parental stress, and everyday stressors.

My approach

I use cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, meditation, grounding and relaxation techniques, strengths-based strategies, sensory focus, harm reduction skills, and trauma-informed approaches. It really depends on what your goals are for the session.

My communication style

I provide a client-led approach because you are the expert in your own life. I can be hands-on with solution-focused activities, holistic with meditation and mindfulness, or laid-back to provide space for you to process and reflect openly.

My journey to mental healthcare

I love understanding what makes an individual who they are and helping them achieve new potentials. I truly believe we are all capable of infinite love, happiness, change, and growth despite our traumas and present circumstances.

My goals for you

I approach goals by examining everyday impairments and readiness for change, then setting realistic and achievable goals with you.

Our first session

During your first session, you should expect to establish a good sense of my nurturing skills, ability to relate, and perspectives in psycho-education.
