Ana Baratta Posada

Warm, steady, practical counseling. We focus on what’s happening now (anxiety, people-pleasing, grief) and the patterns behind it—without shame. At your pace, I use simple tools and trauma work (including EMDR when needed) to help you feel calmer, set boundaries, and trust yourself again.

Together, we will slow down the anxiety, name what you feel, and find the patterns behind people-pleasing or grief—without shame. We’ll use simple tools you can practice daily, and trauma work (like EMDR when needed), so you feel calmer, set healthier boundaries, and trust yourself again—in English or Spanish.

My clients describe me as warm, steady, and easy to talk to. They say I help them feel safe and understood while also keeping it practical. I notice patterns with care, offer simple tools they can use right away, and gently push them toward healthier boundaries and self-trust.

I specialize in working with people who look “fine” on the outside, but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck inside—especially those who overthink, people-please, struggle with boundaries, or carry grief and trauma.

I became a therapist because I started my own therapy journey at 9 years old, after my parents’ divorce. It showed me how emotional wounds can follow you quietly—and how healing is possible when someone helps you feel seen, safe, and supported.

I use practical tools you can use between sessions, and when it’s a good fit, I integrate EMDR and relational trauma work to help painful memories and beliefs lose their emotional charge. I also help clients strengthen boundaries, reduce guilt, and rebuild self-trust—so you can show up in your relationships without abandoning yourself.
