Getting to know Christopher Sanchez Lascurain
Somatic Therapist | LGBTQIA2+–Affirming Care | Nervous System Regulation
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California, Chris brings over a decade of clinical experience to teletherapy, specializing in helping empaths and LGBTQIA2+ adults cultivate resilience, confidence, and lasting balance.

Subsequent sessions follow a flexible but structured format:

A blend of talk therapy and somatic interventions—such as guided breathwork, body scans, grounding exercises, or mindful movement—tailored to your needs in the moment.
Insight Integration
Reflection on emotions, physical sensations, and thoughts that surfaced during practice; discussion of patterns, triggers, and coping strategies.
Goal-Setting & Takeaways
