Ana Baratta, PhD., LPCC

For the woman who holds everything together for everyone else…
but feels anxious, overwhelmed, and emotionally exhausted underneath.
You’re used to being the strong one.
The reliable one. The one who keeps going no matter what.
But there are parts of your story—anxiety, loss, people-pleasing, emotional pain—
that you’ve been carrying quietly for a long time.
This is a space where you don’t have to do that anymore.

Think of therapy with me like this: you’re in the driver’s seat—you’re the expert in your life. I’m in the passenger seat, guiding you with evidence-based tools, helping you slow down, make sense of patterns, and move forward in a way that feels grounded. I’ll always prioritize safety and pace, and I’ll also challenge you when it’s needed—especially around people-pleasing, avoidance, or stuck cycles. When appropriate and aligned with your preferences, I can also integrate faith into your healing. And while your story stays at the center, I bring a deep respect for grief, hardship, and life transitions—so you feel genuinely understood, not analyzed. I am Dr. Ana Baratta, a bilingual therapist who adapts the therapy process to your needs—because healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. My approach is shaped by 27+ years in clinical and educational work in El Salvador and the United States, and I bring both compassion and clarity into the room.
