Ana Sofia Guerra, LPC Associate

(She/Her)  |  

Counselor: 

Adults, Children, Teens, Tweens

Ana Sofia believes therapy works best when clients feel seen, heard, and free to be their authentic selves. Her style is warm and direct, and she values honesty, curiosity, and laughter in the therapy room. She approaches therapy with the belief that meaningful change comes through genuine connection, creating a space where clients feel safe to explore themselves without judgment.

In her work with children and adolescents, Ana Sofia uses a child-centered play therapy approach that allows young clients to express and process their experiences through play, creativity, and imagination. Through expressive arts and developmentally appropriate techniques, she helps children and teens explore emotions, strengthen self-expression, and build confidence in themselves and their relationships. She also values collaborating with caregivers to support young clients both inside and outside of the therapy room.

With adults and young adults, Ana Sofia focuses on anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, identity exploration, and relationship challenges. Her integrative approach is grounded in a person-centered foundation and informed by psychodynamic, attachment-based, and REBT perspectives. She is particularly interested in helping clients see how past experiences and relationships influence current patterns, beliefs, and emotions.

Growing up in Mexico and immigrating to the United States at age 10, Ana Sofia understands firsthand how culture, identity, and life transitions shape the way people experience the world. These experiences inform her commitment to culturally responsive care where clients from diverse backgrounds feel seen and understood.

Ana Sofia is supervised by Rosalie Piedra, LPC-S, RPT-S.

Why Therapy?

My strong passion for mental health advocacy inspired me to become a therapist. I love helping others understand the importance of mental health and how it can affect our daily lives. I also loved my own experience with therapy as a teen and wanted to provide that same safe space for people in my community. Especially being a person of color, I want to add representation and offer services in Spanish.

Professional Motivation

I love helping my clients feel safe, heard, and understood. Being able to provide that space is a true privilege. It’s an honor to witness my clients navigate their journey and grow through the process.

Education

Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin, Master’s degree in Counseling from St. Edward’s University

Hobbies

Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy reading, playing video games on my Nintendo Switch, and spending time outside with my chihuahua, Kevin. I’m also on an ongoing mission to find the best matcha in Austin.

Previous Occupations

Before becoming a counselor, I worked as a strategist in consumer behavior within the advertising field.
