"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I change." - Carl Rogers

If you’ve been searching for effective, innovative therapies to help heal trauma, depression, or anxiety, you’ve likely come across Ketamine-Assisted Therapy. At Gardenia Counseling, we specialize in offering this powerful treatment in the form of ketamine lozenges, combined with evidence-based modalities to support your healing journey.

Hello, and welcome! My name is Ana Marques

I’m a therapist who is passionate about helping my clients heal and grow using a combination of evidence-based modalities and a little bit of humor along the way.

I’m deeply committed to providing holistic, effective care, which is why I completed a year-long training in Ketamine-Assisted Therapy through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute. This program offered a multidisciplinary approach, helping me understand how to best support my clients using this innovative treatment. Ketamine-Assisted Therapy is a powerful tool, and I’m excited to incorporate it into my practice to help you access deeper healing.

In addition to Ketamine-Assisted Therapy, I’m also trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS Level 1), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Each of these modalities has its own unique strengths, and I love being able to integrate them into my work to tailor the therapy to what will best serve you.

As a native Spanish speaker, I’m also proud to offer therapy in both Spanish and English, so you can engage in your healing process in the language that feels most comfortable for you.

My approach to therapy isn’t just about the techniques, though. I believe in creating a space where you can feel curious, cared for, confident, and courageous. I draw from the latest research in neuroscience and mental health to ensure we’re using the most effective strategies. And like many of my clients, I’ve walked my own path of healing, which gives me a personal understanding of what it’s like to be in the therapy chair.

I’m here to walk alongside you as you explore new possibilities for healing and growth. Whether you’re interested in Ketamine-Assisted Therapy or another approach, I would love to connect and discuss how we can work together to help you feel more grounded, whole, and empowered.
