Tony Quintanilla, LMFT, he/ him
Tony is a bilingual (Spanish and English) vegan therapist who has worked for over 18 years with children, teens, parents and families from a depth approach:
​
"My approach is a holistic one that incorporates the mental, emotional, physical & spiritual realms to help bring about symptom relief and empowered change.
​
Other elements will inform our work such as artwork produced in session, verbal processing, EMDR Trauma Reprocessing, dream analysis, exploration and modification of thought, communication & behavior patterns (and neuropathways). I tend to view symptoms as a calling from the deeper parts of ourselves to expand & grow in order to thrive and heal.
I will provide an emotionally safe space grounded in empathy, warmth and non-judgement. We will honor and explore thoughts & feelings with self-kindness, compassion and receptivity."
​
glamour is a word derived from the Scots, meaning ‘dangerous magic.’ . . . beyond any glamour known to any Highland witch. It is a light that never goes out.
. . . sacred because of precisely this capacity to re-bind, re-balance, re-store, re-inspire the spirit in its simple and essential gesture of darkness held in light.
​
…wherever you are alone with yourself most will show in that magic mirror. And bear your heart witness, and keep you company whenever you need to draw on it.
​
we come. We take it home with us. We never really leave.

from her speech, "the question of light"
And Always Searching for Beauty by Joan Snyder
We at Ananda Psychotherapy support the many variances,
self-constructs of identity, and understand that very often, the whole picture may not be known.
​
Many times, we work with the spaces between the notes.
What is unknown or unseen is important, just as what is known or seen are elemental to understanding.
​
A client may come with one symptom.
We pull the thread to find the constellation there. We hope individuals will see themselves in one arena we treat… that will broaden to encompass more with time as understanding is foraged.​
Some will see . . . with their hearts of sleeping volcanoes and be rocked awake.
