Ana Gonzalez Guzman

Hello, I'm Ana (she/her/ella)! I am a Dominican from Lawrence MA and am currently pursuing my Master of Social Work at the Simmons University School of Social Work in Boston, MA.

My roots and lived experiences deeply inform my practice, allowing me to show up with empathy, cultural awareness, and a deep respect for each person’s story. I bring both personal and professional experience to my work, having supported individuals navigating a range of mental health concerns, including ADHD, depression, anxiety, autism, and dyslexia--some of which I have experienced myself. I understand how heavy the day-to-day can feel and how meaningful it is to have someone truly listen and see you for who you are, not just what you’re going through. I am very passionate about mental health and integrating it into everyday life, which is already hard enough as it is.

My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel safe to show up exactly as you are, recognizing that everyone’s journeys and experiences are different. Whether you’re working through personal challenges, family dynamics, identity questions, or just trying to keep going, I am here to walk alongside you. At the core of all my interactions is empathy, a willingness to learn, and genuine care. I see mental health services as a collaborative process: you are the expert on your life, and I’m here to support, reflect, and uplift you along the way. You don’t need to have the “right words”, just bring yourself. Together, we’ll create a space where you can feel grounded, open, and free to be as vulnerable as you need. Healing doesn’t have to be immediate or dramatic; it often unfolds in quiet moments of honesty, humor, reflection, and connection.

Throughout Ana’s internship, Ana’s professional growth and clinical practice are directly supervised by Anim Aweh, (She/Her) LICSW.
