A Little About My Work
Ligia Orellana, Anxiety therapist based in Los Angeles, CA sharing reflections to help adults deepen their self-understanding.
I’m an anxiety therapist in Los Angeles supporting adults, especially first-generation BIPOC and Queer adults, who feel the pressure to hold it all together.
Through reflections on anxiety, relationships, and learning to trust yourself, these posts are here to help you understand yourself more clearly and feel more connected in your life and relationships.
Grab a cafecito, tea, or water and be in this space to slow down and make sense of what you’ve been carrying.
