the details

Yes! Studies have shown that virtual therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy and that satisfaction levels are just as high after a virtual therapy experience.

Is Virtual Therapy Effective? 

Start with a free consultation. We’ll talk briefly about your needs and goals, and if it doesn’t feel aligned, I’m happy to share referrals.

How do I know if we’re a good fit?

Therapy focuses on emotional healing, mental health concerns, and deeper processing—often exploring the past. Coaching is more action- and goal-oriented, focused on future growth. We can talk through what’s best for you during your consultation.

What’s the difference between therapy and coaching?

-ERIKA O.

“I met Ana after trying out various therapists following a particularly difficult period of my life. Ana is everything I was looking for in a therapist: smart, insightful, empathetic, a great listener, and kind. Over a year later, I continue to feel supported by her and she has equipped me with practical tools to navigate new challenges. I’m extremely grateful for all of her help!”

“Dr. Irazábal de Sánchez has helped me navigate the joys and challenges of motherhood and everything in between. She is patient and is always attentive to our conversations. She celebrates my wins with me and works through the challenges. I appreciate the way she helps me reframe situations and offers tools for future situations. I appreciate the way she
remembers my history and even references past experiences I’ve shared with her. It makes our sessions impactful and feels like continued progress instead of a one-time conversation. I value her perspective, challenging questions, and resources that she offers.”

-Aleeza a.

“I've been working with Ana through my prenatal journey and she has been a fantastic support resource. She's a great listener and utilizes her knowledge of various
frameworks to help me problem solve and proactively manage my thoughts and issues. She's got a very warm, calm, and inviting personality. I plan to continue to work with her through my postpartum journey and certainly recommend her!”
