Andrea Swartz, APCC | LGBTQIA2S+ Affirming Therapist in Corona, CA | Mental Prosperity Counseling

You do not have to have it all figured out to begin

My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck despite trying their best. They may be navigating anxiety, depression, disordered eating, ADHD, mood shifts, or identity-related stress. Many feel misunderstood or exhausted by coping alone. They want therapy that feels affirming, practical, and human.

Their goal is not to fix who they are, but to feel more grounded, regulated, and confident. They are looking for a safe, inclusive space where their full experience is respected and change feels possible.

Treatment begins with understanding your story and identifying patterns that no longer serve you. Together we build skills for regulation, self-compassion, and clarity.

I help clients make sense of overwhelming thoughts, emotions, and patterns that feel hard to change. I specialize in anxiety, depression, eating disorders, ADHD, mood disorders, and LGBTQIA2S+ affirming care. My approach blends CBT, DBT, IFS, and trauma-informed therapy to support real and meaningful change.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you have felt misunderstood or judged in the past. I offer a supportive, affirming space where you can show up as you are, move at your own pace, and feel genuinely heard. You deserve care that fits you.

Evidence-based methods, tailored to you

I draw from multiple evidence-based frameworks so that your therapy is built around what actually works for your brain, your life, and your identity.

CBT

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Identifying and reshaping thought patterns that drive anxiety, depression, and avoidance behaviors.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Building skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness.

IFS

Internal Family Systems

Exploring the different parts of yourself with curiosity and compassion to reduce inner conflict.

Trauma-Informed

Trauma-Informed Care

Pacing therapy around your safety and readiness, recognizing how past experiences shape present patterns.

Affirming

LGBTQIA2S+ Affirming

Therapy rooted in full acceptance of your identity, orientation, gender expression, and lived experience.

Self-Compassion

Replacing harsh self-criticism with grounded self-understanding, especially for eating and body image concerns.
