Anaiee Aguilar, MS, AMFT – Psychotherapist

Hola, hola! My name is Anaiee, and I am a bilingual Associate Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I am a first-generation college graduate and the eldest daughter of a semi-traditional Mexican household. I spent much of my upbringing in Compton and Lynwood, California, where I developed a deep understanding of the relationship between struggle, resilience, and hard work.

Growing up, I carried a deep orgullo (pride) for my culture and community while also becoming aware of the cultural taboos, barriers, and social injustices that impact the communities around me. These experiences played an important role in shaping my passion for mental health advocacy and increasing access to culturally responsive care. Throughout my academic and personal journey, I have had the privilege of learning from and connecting with people from many different cultures, backgrounds, and social environments. These experiences have encouraged me to remain curious, open-minded, and intentional in my work with clients from all walks of life.

My approach to therapy is grounded in recognizing each person's strengths while also acknowledging the impact of social injustices, relationships, and past experiences. I strive to approach therapy holistically by considering the mind, body, and spirit as interconnected parts of our overall well-being. My intention is to create a judgment-free space rooted in safety, honesty, compassion, and healing.

At the heart of my practice is the belief that connection is one of the most important parts of the therapeutic process. I hope to build meaningful and trusting relationships with my clients where they feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. Through this connection, I hope to create a space where clients feel empowered to explore, grow, and heal.

If you are curious about starting therapy or wondering if we might be a good fit, I invite you to reach out and schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation. I would be happy to learn more about what brings you to therapy and explore how I can best support you.
