I help adults throughout Los Angeles and California move from emotional fatigue toward greater clarity, grounded confidence, and deeper self-trust.
As an anxiety therapist in Los Angeles, I support adults throughout California I help adults, especially Queer and BIPOC First-Gen, move from emotional fatigue to clarity, grounded confidence, and deeper self-trust.
Especially when anxiety, people-pleasing, or the pressure to hold everything together has become exhausting.
Anxiety, judgement and criticism have been constant companions in your life, and with them came fear, anxiety, overwhelm, guilt and shame.
Underneath the exterior mask of following cultural and societal pressures and expectations, you long to live authentically and show up as your true self. But the fear of people leaving has been holding you back. This often shows up as bottling up your emotions, having your boundaries tested and crossed, and feeling disconnected and stuck.
What once felt protective now is beginning to feel heavy, maybe it always has.
If this sounds familiar, this blog post goes deeper into what therapy for anxiety actually looks like when you're used to holding it all together.
Feelings of resentment, guilt, and the belief that you’re “not enough” keep surfacing.
You are not alone in this experience.
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when balancing personal, cultural, and societal pressures. Family expectations, systemic stressors, and the weight of people-pleasing can all factor into how anxiety lives in the body and impacts relationships.
Together, we create a safe space to process emotions safely, set boundaries, and reconnect with who you are at your core, so you can finally exhale and rest.

Hi, I’m Ligia (she/her/ella), an Anxiety Therapist in Los Angeles, CA
Trusted by adults, including first-gen and queer clients across Los Angeles, with over 9 years of experience in providing anxiety therapy throughout California for adults navigating anxiety, toxic relationships, people-pleasing, and identity stress.
I specialize in working with anxious adults— especially first-generation, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ adults who have spent much of their lives needing to hold it together.
Finding the right therapist is an essential part of your healing journey. As an anxiety therapist based in Los Angeles and offering therapy across California, I believe effective anxiety therapy begins with feeling understood. Not just in your symptoms, but in your story, your values, and lived experiences.
My approach is rooted in cultural awareness, inclusivity, and deep respect for the ways identity and background shape how anxiety shows up. I support first-generation, BIPOC, and Queer adults who are navigating the weight of expectations, relationship stress, people-pleasing, and persistent self-doubt. When you feel seen and affirmed in therapy, it becomes possible to build stronger boundaries, experience deeper connection, and move toward healing that feels genuine and sustainable.
In my work as an anxiety therapist in Los Angeles, I focus on helping clients move through anxiety while building a greater sense of safety within themselves and in their lives.
How I Support Adults with Anxiety
As a Latinx, first-generation therapist, I bring both clinical training and personal understanding into the therapy room. I know how complicated it can feel to carry cultural, societal, and family expectations — especially if you have learned to hide parts of yourself in order to belong or keep the peace.
Together, we create a space to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself. Our work together focuses on building awareness, noticing patterns that keep you feeling stuck, and learning practical ways to calm both your mind and body — so you can live with more self-trust and compassion.
