Ana has been a great therapist for me. She is able to balance comfort and guidance. She is able to stay focused on my goals while helping me process the feelings related to them. I would recommend Ana to anyone struggling to move forward with their goals.

I had some anxiety starting therapy - I wasn't sure if virtual would feel right, and I was afraid I wouldn't "click" with the therapist I was paired with. Ana quickly calmed those worries, and has been so easy to talk to and connect with. She is genuine, kind, and has a good sense of humor which is a big plus! I've had a great experience so far with Ana, as well as with BetterHelp.
