Ana Velouise - Mental Health Therapist

About Ana

Infertility, queer family building, pregnancy loss, or the postpartum season can feel destabilizing in ways you didn’t expect. You might be dealing with anxiety that feels hard to control, grief that shows up in waves, or thoughts you didn’t expect like jealousy, shame, or constant mental looping. You may find yourself trying to regain a sense of control through researching, comparing, or overthinking, while also feeling unlike yourself. At the same time, there can be pressure to hold it together or “be grateful,” leaving you feeling alone in what you’re experiencing. I'm a perinatal mental health therapist who approaches this work with both clinical training and lived understanding of how nonlinear and humbling this road can be. You don’t have to carry this alone. Visit my website to schedule a free consultation.

As a queer therapist, I’m intentional about where I refer my LGBTQ+ clients building their families. Ana is someone I trust deeply. With her, clients don’t have to shrink themselves or explain their path to parenthood—they simply get to be.

Frequently asked questions

What are your rates and availability?

My current rates are as follows: —Individual Sessions: $250 (50 min) —Couples/Dyads Sessions: $300 (50 min) I am currently taking new clients with availability on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Do you take insurance?

I am currently a private pay, out-of-network provider. This decision was made to provide effective mental health treatment without insurance companies dictating your care (such as a limited number of sessions, dictating interventions, or excluding certain diagnoses from coverage). While I don’t accept insurance directly, I’ve partnered with Mentaya to help clients use their out-of-network benefits to save money on therapy. You can do an instant benefits check on my website to verify your out-of-network benefits and save on therapy costs. I am happy to provide you with a monthly superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement for a portion of the session fee. Please note that if you are requesting a superbill, a diagnosis that will remain a part of your medical record will be required.

How long do I need to be in therapy?

It depends on what you’re seeking. Some clients come for short-term support around a specific transition or crisis; others stay longer for deeper integration and relational healing. We’ll check in regularly about what’s shifting, what’s emerging, and whether our work still feels aligned.

How do I get started?

You can book a free consultation directly through my online scheduler. This gives us a chance to briefly discuss what’s bringing you in and see if working together feels like the right fit. If it does, we can schedule your first session during the call.
