Ana Diaz-LePage, Ph.D.
Bilingual Licensed Psychologist
Pronouns: She/Her/Ella
Positionality:
I identify as a cis-het Latinx woman. I immigrated from Lima, Peru when I was 8 years old, and was raised in a bilingual and bicultural home. I can provide therapy in Spanish, English, or both languages based on client preference.
My Approach:
As an immigrant and Latinx woman, my lived experiences fuel my commitment to providing culturally affirming care. I understand the challenges of navigating systems not designed with you in mind, and how crucial it is to cultivate awareness, reflection, and self-compassion to thrive in the face of adversity. My goal is to honor your cultural identity while offering a space where you can explore, heal, and grow in a way that feels authentic and empowering.
I recognize that starting therapy can be daunting. It takes courage to ask for help, and even more courage to face vulnerable, sometimes uncomfortable, parts of yourself. I strive to create an inclusive, non-judgmental, and empathetic space where you can fully show up as your true self. Together, we will work to identify the barriers that keep you stuck in unhealthy patterns. My approach is collaborative, helping you to uncover and unlearn survival strategies that may have once served you, but now hold you back from the life and relationships you truly desire.
In my practice, I use a culturally affirming, strengths-based approach that values your unique background and experiences. We will explore how cultural, familial, and societal factors have influenced your sense of self, and I will support you in developing new, empowering narratives. By exploring your needs, wants, and values, we can help you prioritize yourself and live a life that aligns with your authentic identity.
I am passionate about supporting individuals, especially young adults, who are navigating identity concerns, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, chronic illness, and other health-related issues. Together, we will find ways to help you embrace and cope with your emotions, tailoring therapy to your unique strengths and life experiences. My ultimate aim is to empower you to live with greater self-awareness, resilience, and authenticity.
​
Clinical & Theoretical Orientation:
My psychotherapy practice is flexible but grounded in humanistic principles and cultural humility, utilizing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) approaches. Importantly, my work is person-centered and collaborative – therapy is for the client and their goals guide the therapeutic experience. As such, I believe it is important to share power in our therapeutic relationship: you are the expert of your life and I want to help you regain some of that power by creating a space where you can go at your own pace in your therapeutic journey.
I operate from a strengths-based perspective to assist in developing strategies to live life in line with your own personal values. I value showing up authentically, meeting my clients where they are, and remaining non-judgmental. I believe that being authentic is a necessary ingredient for the development of trust in all relationships. I hope to provide a space that is safe and supportive to process experiences and learn methods to live a fulfilled life.
​
My social justice values are a strong foundation of my work as a therapist. I aim to understand my clients’ experiences in their context and their intersecting identities, in order to treat the whole person. As Latina woman, I understand the value in unpacking our intersectionality and how dynamics of of power, privilege and oppression show up in our lives. I strive to utilize my power and skills to advocate and provide care for underrepresented communities. As a part of my own ongoing personal and professional journey, I am dedicated to learning and continue learning about identities, communities, and ways of life different than my own.​
