Anastasia D. Guinchard, LMFT 161463
You’ve mastered reading the room. Now imagine not having to change yourself to belong in it.
Bilingual therapy for creatives, big thinkers, and deep feelers in Redondo Beach and throughout 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 and your entire life. You keep playing small, terrified the real you is "too much."
Imagine creating something without immediately picking it apart.
Making a decision without replaying it ten times. Being in a relationship without constantly wondering where you stand.
You still feel deeply. You just don’t have to question yourself every step of the way.
I help creatives, big thinkers and deep feelers stop second-guessing every choice and start living like they belong in their own lives.
I have 5+ years experience working with teens and adults, and I’m a creative (dancer and choreographer) myself.
Why spend another day …
→ Stuck in the loop of self-doubt, unable to step fully into your creativity and potential.
→ One text, one rejection, one weird shift in someone’s energy and suddenly you’re questioning everything about yourself.
→ Trapped in cycles of romantic obsession, waiting for someone else to make you feel whole.
→ Minimizing your emotions to avoid being “too much,” instead of fully owning your space.
→ Living in a constant state of ‘almost.’
You already know why you do it.
So why does it keep happening?
You’ve done the self reflection.
You can probably trace the overthinking, perfectionism, validation seeking, and relationship patterns back to where they started.
But knowing hasn’t made them stop.
You still reread the text. Question the decision. Look for reassurance. Make yourself smaller when you’re afraid of being too much.
That’s the missing piece.
Understanding a pattern and changing what happens when it gets triggered are two different things.
So we won’t only talk about it.
We can use talk therapy alongside shadow work, somatic experiencing, and dance therapy to work with what’s happening in your thoughts, emotions, body, and relationships.
Because the goal isn’t to understand yourself better forever. It’s to finally feel different living as yourself.
Meet Your Therapist
Hi, I’m Anastasia Guinchard … but you can call me Anya.
I don’t just work with creatives. I’ve spent 20 years dancing and choreographing, so I know what it’s like to make something deeply personal, put it into the world, and immediately wonder if it’s good enough.
I know what it’s like to feel trapped by imposter syndrome and unhealthy relationship patterns, and I’m here to help you take up space in your own life without apology.
And because the mind and body are connected, as a Functional Nutritionist, we can also explore how nutrition may be influencing your mood, energy, and focus.
If that interests you, we can connect those dots too.
