About
Dr. Anthony Villa is a licensed clinical psychologist who believes psychotherapy is a collaborative experience focused on building a strong therapeutic alliance and establishing goals together. He builds connections through nonjudgmental empathy, support, encouragement, and humor to help explore presenting concerns, achieve established goals, and develop sustainable change. He aims to help individuals gain insight, develop healthy coping skills, and explore personal growth and identity.
Dr. Anthony utilizes an integrative approach while engaging with specific components of evidence-based treatments, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), cognitive processing therapy (CPT), mindfulness, and humanistic techniques. Additionally, he aims to incorporate valuable components into treatment, such as cultural background, family dynamics/history, and the individual’s lived experiences. Dr. Anthony focuses on client-centered and strength-based treatment to individualize treatment and build on an individual’s current strengths/resources, while discovering new strengths, all to improve resiliency.
Dr. Anthony has experience working with individuals across the lifespan in numerous different settings, including a community mental health center, a psychiatric hospital, a college counseling center, and a Veterans Affairs hospital. He currently treats young adults, adults, and the elderly. He has expertise working with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, self-esteem/identity exploration, grief, and difficulties related to physical health concerns.

Curriculum Vitae
Professional Memberships & Affiliations
“I truly believe we have the power to make significant changes in our lives. One of those ways is through psychotherapy, which is both a science and an art. The science includes all the empirically backed techniques. While the art includes the emotional sensitivity, empathy, and compassion that makes us human. Through the combination of scientific techniques and humanity, we can explore and discover how to establish meaning in our lives.”
