(In-Person & Virtual Across California)
Ashana Chand, APCC #20932
Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC #20932) supervised by Marisa Ronquillo Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #122594)
If you’re someone who looks “put together” but feels anxious, overwhelmed, or constantly in your head; even when nothing looks wrong from the outside — I see you.
Therapy with me is a space to slow things down & make sense of these patterns so your nervous system can learn it doesn’t have to stay on high alert all the time.
You don’t have to have everything figured out to start.
Ashana’s rate is $140 per session.

I Work Best With Adults Who:
Feel anxious, tense, or on edge most days; even when life looks “fine”
Overthink conversations, decisions, or relationships long after they happen
Feel responsible for other people’s emotions
Struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, or saying ‘no’ without guilt
Feel disconnected from themselves or unsure who they really are
Grew up needing to be “good,” mature, or low-maintenance & now feel exhausted from always holding it together.
You don’t need a trauma label to belong here.
Many clients come in sensing something is off, even if they can’t yet name why.
What It’s Like to Work With Me
Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and grounded. I’ll meet you where you are; without judgment, pressure, or pushing you to move faster than your system is ready for.
In sessions, we’ll:
explore the patterns behind your anxiety and overthinking
understand how your past and present experiences shape your reactions
build practical tools to help you feel more regulated and steady in daily life
strengthen your sense of self and confidence in relationships
We move at a pace that feels supportive, not overwhelming. You don’t need to perform or have the “right” words here. Showing up as you are is enough.
My Approach
I use evidence-based tools like CBT and mindfulness to help you understand why your anxiety developed & how to respond to yourself with more clarity and compassion.
I integrate practical coping strategies, mindfulness, and insight-oriented work to help you:
feel more emotionally regulated
trust yourself and your needs
build healthier boundaries
feel more grounded in who you are
I’m especially mindful of how culture, family dynamics, and early experiences shape the way we relate to ourselves and others; even when those experiences don’t feel “big enough” to count.
My work integrates evidence-based tools like CBT, mindfulness, and insight-oriented therapy to help you:
• feel more regulated
• trust yourself
• build healthier boundaries
• feel grounded in who you are
My Background
My path into therapy began long before I earned my degree. I first worked in an Intensive Outpatient Program, where I witnessed how powerful it can be when people are met with genuine support, curiosity, and care during moments of anxiety and emotional overwhelm.
I earned my Master’s in Counseling with a specialization in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of the Pacific and am currently continuing my training in a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) program.
As part of Insightful Roots Therapy, I’m committed to creating a space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered to grow into a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and sustainable.
