Hello and Welcome! My name is Ana Mora, and I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) from California State University, Monterey Bay and have over 7 years of combined professional and internship experience supporting children, adolescents, and young adults. Throughout my career, I have worked with youth facing challenges such as anxiety, low self esteem, friendship issues, trauma, life transitions and family related issues. In addition to working directly with youth, I partner closely with parents and caregivers to help them navigate school systems, strengthen family relationships, and support their child's emotional well-being.
As a bilingual therapist, I provide services in both English and Spanish and strive to approach every individual with cultural humility, compassion, and respect.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nearly six years of clinical experience working with individuals across a wide age range—from children as young as six to adults in their late sixties. I have supported clients navigating a variety of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, postpartum concerns, OCD, trauma, and more complex mood and personality-related disorders.
I was born and raised in Montana and have a genuine passion for nature and the outdoors. I received my Bachelors in Psychology at Montana State University in 2001. I then pursued my Masters of Social Work degree and graduated in 2008 from the University of Montana. This graduate program had a focus on providing a social justice and integrated practitioner perspective. I have an eclectic style that can be tailored to each unique individual. My primary therapeutic methods include Mindfulness Based, Holistic, Exposure, Narrative, Cognitive and Behavioral, Strengths Based & Solution Focused Therapies. I provide a non-judgmental and compassionate environment that often helps people feel comfortable. A true passion of mine is structuring therapeutic activities for clients to express, process, increase self-awareness, and de-stress from life’s challenging and developmental experiences.
I have been in mental health since 2014 and in general healthcare since 1993. I enjoy working with clients of all ages. The clients that tend to gravitate towards my practice are female-presenting, neurodivergent, and families with children with behavioral challenges. I have a vast experience/knowledge base in mental health having worked in community agencies, private practice, school therapy (specifically IEP-related therapy), court- and CPS-involved cases, running groups, and working both on adolescent and adult psychiatric inpatient units. I offer a complementary brief meet and greet before scheduling the first appointment so my clients/families can ask me questions and see if my practice is a good fit for them. I also have a trauma treatment background with certification - trauma comes up in a lot of my work with clients even if that is not what led to starting therapy.
I bring 11 years of experience from diverse treatment settings, including acute inpatient care, chemical dependency/dual diagnosis programs, RTCs, PHP, IOP, and private practice. Additionally, I offer Christian-based counseling by request.
I support adults and seniors working through family issues, grief and loss, relationship challenges, women’s issues, and cultural concerns.
I also help clients navigate anxiety, depression, and stress. My approach is open-minded, affirming, and holistic, and I’m here to help you feel understood, supported, and more grounded as you move through life’s changes.
I am a queer-identified, sex-positive psychologist experienced in working with a spectrum of sexual orientations, identities, and relationships. I help individuals and couples interested in discussing kink and consensual non-monogamy.
I also specialize in treating OCD (including "Pure O"), specific phobias, social anxiety, and relationship anxiety. My approach combines evidence-based exposure therapy to help reduce symptoms and break patterns of avoidance with deeper exploratory work aimed at understanding the underlying fears, beliefs, and experiences that contribute to anxiety. By addressing both the symptoms and their roots, I help clients create lasting change and greater freedom in their lives.
For individuals with OCD, I offer both Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT). If ERP doesn't feel like the right fit for you, or if you're interested in an alternative approach, I-CBT can be an effective treatment that targets the reasoning processes underlying obsessive doubt.
I currently accept insurance for group therapy only and have two OCD-focused groups with openings available.
Do you ever feel overwhelmed or stuck in the same relationship patterns? Life can bring emotional and mental challenges that leave us feeling lost, disconnected, or unsure of what to do next. My goal is to help you make sense of what’s happening, deepen your understanding of yourself, and find healthier ways to move through difficult moments.
I am a bilingual Marriage and Family Therapist for 8 years. I enjoy working with clients who struggle from depression and/or anxiety symptoms. I feel that imperative to feel comfortable and "click" with your therapist in order for your therapy experience to be positive and most effective. Allowing clients to feel comfortable to open up and talk about anything they want to focus on by learning the tools that best fit for their issues.
You want to feel heard and understood, yet something is still missing—like you’re carrying more than you should on your own. If you’re struggling with anxiety, low mood, or feeling disconnected from yourself, you’re not alone. Using a holistic and mindful approach, I help clients reduce emotional pain, manage unwanted symptoms, and reconnect with a stronger sense of self through self-compassion and intentional self-care.
I am a trauma-certified CBT therapist who supports individuals in building confidence, self-worth, and emotional resilience. I specialize in working with anxiety, anger management, relationship challenges, and trauma, including experiences of sexual abuse. My approach is collaborative, practical, and tailored to your unique needs.
When you begin to prioritize yourself, meaningful changes can happen—not only within you, but in your relationships as well. Together, we’ll focus on creating lasting growth by strengthening the skills and inner resources you already have.
As a California LPCC (#21531) and Texas LPC (#92064), I bring experience from psychiatric hospitals, community mental health, and one of the nation's largest health systems. My approach combines CBT, EMDR, and attachment theory to help clients build resilience, improve relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I work with adults, executives, children, teens, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. I especially enjoy helping high-achieving professionals navigate the demands of leadership without sacrificing the relationships that matter most.
Clients describe me as calm, direct, and easy to talk to. I create a safe, judgment-free space while challenging clients to think deeply, examine unhelpful patterns, and take practical steps toward meaningful change. My goal is to help you move forward—not stay stuck.
After decades of leading teams, mentoring professionals, and building relationships, I realized my greatest fulfillment came from helping people grow. Becoming a therapist allows me to combine life experience with clinical training to help clients navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and create lasting change.
I believe therapy should have a clear purpose and measurable outcomes. Together, we'll develop SMART goals, monitor progress throughout treatment, and ensure you leave therapy with the skills and confidence to continue thriving long after our work together is complete.

I believe in creating a safe and welcoming place for people to discover themselves. I have 20 years of experience working with adults and adolescents in many different treatment settings.
