My name is Sativa Ananda and I am an energetic, empathetic therapist. I enjoy working
alongside clients with an electric approach based on their individual needs. I can be humorous
at times, but I am sensitive to their current state of mental health needs.
My experience of over 15 years has been working with individuals, couples and families in the
LGBTQQI community and folks with diverse sexual needs. I am additionally skilled in working
with teenagers. I enjoy providing support with their growing minds. I come from a cognitive
mindfulness upbringing in my personal life and often apply these learned skills to my clients
lives.
I have training in mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy,
counseling combined with hallucinogens and consider myself humanistic. I tailor my approach
with clients to what is agreed upon with their needs during sessions. I will provide homework
outside our session when needed.
I am here to help, if you find your goals are consistent with my personality and methods of
therapy and it would be great to meet you. I am understanding that the relationship with the
client and therapist is incredibly important for progress to be achieved with clients goals. I
appreciate when clients are direct with their needs.
