Anna barrios, LCSW

Mental health clinician- licensed in NM, WA, and CA.

I am a bilingual therapist-Spanish. I work with adults who are looking to process trauma from childhood, due to family patterns of dysfunction. The focus of treatment is to address the anxiety, depression and grief, as well as the challenges in relationships, that result from unresolved pain. My practice provides a safe space to grow and explore.
I live in the beautiful Southwest, and I embrace my Hispanic heritage. My best childhood memories are family road trips between Mexico and the USA. I learned early in life that diversity was something to cherish, and yet I also realized, that differences created division. With this in mind, I decided to pursue a degree in social work. I chose to focus on mental health in order to be a catalyst for change. I have worked for non-profit organizations, schools, and State agencies, delivering best-practice mental health services. In recent years, I have established a private practice that provides trauma informed care to individuals. I have developed an interest in complex trauma and the impact of adverse experiences on the nervous system. Complex trauma is the exposure to multiple traumatic events. These events can be pervasive and may include abuse, neglect, interpersonal violence and

discrimination. Negative events can impact one's outlook in life. My interest as a clinician, is to help individuals reclaim the Self that they may feel is lost. My work incorporates mindfulness, to integrate body and mind. I strive to develop therapeutic strategies that positively inpact the person, as a whole.
