Anamaria Preciado-Iglesias, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Anamaria!

I know starting therapy can feel like a lot--signing up, choosing a therapist, and not knowing what to expect. I do my best to make the process feel comfortable and human. As an LCSW, I help young adults navigate anxiety, depression, and life transitions, and together we'll build tools and insight that help you feel more confident and in control.

My focus

My focus is helping young adults manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and life stressors. I aim to support clients in gaining clarity, strengthening resilience, building tools to manage stress, and creating meaningful change in their daily lives.

My approach

I take a client-centered, collaborative approach using CBT to help clients manage anxiety, depression, and stress. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can feel heard, gain insight, and grow with confidence.

My communication style

I communicate with warmth, empathy, and authenticity. I listen with curiosity and compassion and aim to create an open, comfortable space where clients feel safe to share, reflect, and grow through honest and supportive conversations.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been fascinated by how people adapt to stress and life changes. Working with young adults who have experienced trauma has shown me their incredible potential. Seeing them do the work, grow, and build resilience is what continues to inspire me as a provider.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their goals by combining empathy with practical strategies. Through collaboration, reflection, and CBT techniques, we turn challenges into opportunities for insight, growth, and positive change.

Our first session

In the first session, we focus on understanding your experiences and what brought you to therapy. We'll clarify goals, establish a plan, and create a safe, collaborative environment to begin building insight, coping skills, and growth.
