Anastasia D. Guinchard
Bilingual therapy for creatives, big thinkers, and deep feelers.
In-person in Hermosa Beach; virtual anywhere in California.
You’re stuck in an anxiety loop of self-doubt, perfectionism, and unhealthy relationship patterns. You’re overanalyzing every brushstroke, feeling like a fraud in your work, your relationships—your entire life. You keep playing small, terrified the real you is "too much."
You want to feel grounded, confident. To move through life without that voice in your head whispering you’re getting it all wrong. To stop looking outside yourself for proof that you’re worthy and start believing it just because you exist.
I help creatives, big thinkers and deep feelers stop second-guessing every choice and start living like they belong in their own lives.
We’ll infuse talk therapy with functional nutrition and alternative modalities—like shadow work, somatic experiencing, and dance therapy — to help get you moving forward again.
I have 5+ years experience working with teens and adults, and I’m a creative (dancer and choreographer) myself.
