Juliana Anderson, LCSW (She/They)
Juliana Anderson is a Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist at And Still We Rise. She holds a bachelor's in psychology and a master's in clinical social work from Simmons University. Juliana is dedicated to working with individuals facing life and identity-related challenges, such as navigating cultural and generational conflicts, immigration, gender and sexual identity, and emerging adulthood. She is especially passionate about supporting Queer and BIPOC clients, first- and second-generation immigrants, and young adults. Folks in consensual non-monogamous relationships, including polyamorous and open relationships are also welcome in her practice.
As someone who has experienced transformative change in her own therapeutic work, Juliana believes in the power of therapy to foster transformation and healing, while also recognizing that the fields of psychology, social work, and mental health are steeped in colonialism and white supremacy, and have perpetrated great harm on many historically marginalized people. Juliana’s work is deeply rooted in liberation psychology – a framework that understands that oppressive social, political, and cultural conditions are often the primary causes of psychological suffering. Drawing heavily from psychodynamic and relational theories, Juliana aims to integrate social justice and intersectional feminist frameworks into her therapeutic work. Juliana uses narrative therapy to help her clients gain insight into the events that make up their life and believes that her role is to listen deeply and compassionately as clients (re)write their own stories.
When not thinking about mental health, social work, and collective liberation, you can find her reading poetry, making lists, thinking about food, or where to travel next. She is currently learning and practicing how to read tarot cards.
Juliana is bilingual and bicultural, fluent in Portuguese and English.
