Ana obando, LCSWA

With nearly three years of experience in case management, I have supported adults and families navigating legal and emotional crises. My clinical background includes working with children, adolescents, and their families in both school settings and mental health environments. I’ve helped students and their caregivers address challenges related to self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and anger, while also empowering families to better understand mental health and build confidence through practical, compassionate support.

I specialize in therapy for children (ages 10+), teens, and young adults seeking growth, relief, and clarity as they navigate life’s challenges. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), providing clients with practical tools to manage emotions and develop resilience. For my younger or more reserved clients, I integrate play and art therapy to create a comfortable and engaging space for self-expression.

I strive to offer a non-judgmental, affirming, and collaborative environment where every client feels seen, heard, and supported. I incorporate expressive arts, mindfulness, and humor into sessions to nurture connection, safety, and personal growth. Therapy with me is a journey tailored to your goals, needs, and pace—whether you're seeking healing, clarity, or just someone to walk alongside you.
