Johanna Arenaza, Psychologist

Some concerns run deeper than what appears on the surface, and that is exactly where I work best. My approach is warm and direct, grounded in a genuine interest in helping you heal. As a psychologist, I do not simply treat symptoms; I help you understand them and overcome your concerns. Together, we explore the patterns, the contradictions, and the experiences that have shaped you, often uncovering clarity that feels both surprising and long overdue. Clients often tell me they feel understood in ways they have not experienced before, and that our work brings both relief and a deeper sense of agency and meaning in their lives. Whether you are navigating anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression, life transitions, or a persistent sense that something is not quite right, I offer a space that is both safe and clarifying, where real change becomes possible.

I work both, in English and Spanish, from a psychodynamic perspective, allowing us to understand your symptoms at their roots, rather than simply addressing them on the surface. Having lived across multiple cultures, I bring awareness to diverse backgrounds and ways of living. I also feel at home working with existential questions—issues of meaning, identity, and life transitions—which are often at the core of many symptoms.
