Anna Cartagena

My communication style

I communicate openly and calmly, fostering a collaborative environment where you can express yourself freely and pursue personal growth. My goal is to provide a compassionate, empathetic, and safe space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. This approach is fundamental to our therapeutic relationship.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a therapist because I have always felt a strong calling to support others during challenging times. I am committed to fostering mental wellness and empowering my clients to reach their goals.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting with clients focuses on collaboration to clarify what you want to achieve during our time together. We begin by establishing trust and creating a comfortable therapeutic environment. As we move forward, we'll work together to set meaningful goals and monitor your progress.

Our first session

The first session is about building an initial connection and helping me know where we should go. For our first session, we will spend most of our time talking about how you've been feeling recently and asking questions to better understand why you may feel that way.
