Ana Luz Rashad, PhD, LCSW
Provider Profile
Welcome! I’m Ana Luz Rashad, a dedicated mental health clinician with a PhD in Family Therapy. My practice focuses on improving relationships among individuals, couples, and families, guiding them through their journeys toward healing and growth. With 14 years of experience, I provide compassionate, client-centered therapy tailored to meet each person's unique needs.
I believe that therapy should be an integral part of our overall health care, not just a resource during times of crisis. This holistic approach allows individuals to prioritize their mental well-being as part of their overall health journey. When working with couples, my goal is to facilitate a smooth transition to their desired outcomes—whether that means staying together or parting ways amicably—always keeping the well-being of children at the forefront.
I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches that emphasize relationship improvement, including:
-
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Strengthening emotional bonds between partners.
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helping clients identify and change negative thought patterns.
-
Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Enhancing communication and emotional regulation through present-moment awareness.
-
Trauma-Informed Care: Supporting individuals and families who have experienced trauma.
-
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy: Concentrating on solutions and future goals to improve relational dynamics.
-
Gottman Method: Research-backed method that helps couples repair their relationships by addressing deep-rooted issues and fostering healthier interactions.
​​
My commitment to ongoing professional development ensures that I stay updated on the latest practices in mental health.
I also believe in the power of collaboration by working closely with psychiatrists, primary care providers, and school counselors to offer comprehensive treatment. Through community outreach and co-facilitated workshops, I aim to enhance mental health awareness and resources.
​
Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or personal growth, I am here to guide you. Together, we can work towards achieving your goals and enhancing your quality of life. Feel free to reach out to learn more about my services or to schedule a consultation. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey to wellness!
