Esencia Therapy, PLLC

Hi, I’m Ana, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing virtual therapy in Colorado.

You may appear to have everything together, yet inside you feel exhausted, disconnected, or like you are constantly masking parts of who you are. Many of the people I work with feel caught between identities, cultures, or expectations that never quite feel like home. I work with young adults and adults (ages 18+) navigating minority stress, trauma symptoms, burnout, high-functioning anxiety, and feeling detached from themselves. Many are college students or early-career professionals trying to understand who they are and build a life that feels more aligned with their identity and values.

My approach centers the connection between identity, culture, and the nervous system. I integrate somatic therapy, trauma-informed care, coherence therapy, IFS parts work, and systems perspectives to help clients understand protective patterns, reconnect with their bodies, and move toward ways of living that feel more authentic and self-aligned.

Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you have not always felt understood or supported in other spaces. I offer a free 15-minute phone or video consultation where we can talk about what brings you here, answer any questions you may have, and explore whether working together feels like the right fit for you.
