I’m Anna M. Tepedino, a bilingual licensed clinical social worker based in Houston, providing therapy and forensic evaluations for individuals and families navigating complex life transitions. My work is grounded in cultural attunement, clear communication, and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience.

​

My clinical journey began as an intern at The Menninger Clinic, supporting adolescents in inpatient care. Over the years, I’ve worked in schools, nonprofits, and community health centers, serving children, teens, families, and adults across the lifespan. Today, I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, grief, identity shifts and relationship challenges, with a particular focus on maternal mental health. 

​

These experiences have shaped my trauma‑informed, culturally responsive approach to therapy. I work from a developmental lens, recognizing that even in adulthood we carry younger parts that need compassion, boundaries, and space to heal.
 

My practice is collaborative, grounded, and centered on helping clients reconnect with their strengths and move forward with intention. I don’t believe in a one‑size‑fits‑all approach to mental health. I’m trained in a range of therapeutic modalities, including ERP, IFS, and DBT, and use an integrative approach to meet you where you are. Together, I trust we’ll find what fits best for your journey.
