Getting to know Jennifer Govea-Sanchez

Hi there, I'm Jennifer! My name is Jennifer Govea-Sanchez, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University Long Beach. I focus on trauma, depression, anxiety, and relationships. I can help address and change core beliefs that may be holding you back from achieving your life goals. My approach I use an eclectic approach that may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Gottman, schema therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. My focus I typically work with clients in mid-life who are motivated to address issues such as depression, anxiety, and trauma. My communication style I like to create a non-judgmental, safe, and comfortable environment in sessions that allows clients to speak openly with accountability. I'm open to feedback and individualizing the therapeutic experience. My journey to mental healthcare I first discovered therapy as a client in need of support. I had difficulty finding the treatment I needed and grew tired of retelling my story. When I finally found the right fit with a therapist, I was motivated to become a therapist myself. My goals for you Goal setting is a collaborative effort between the therapist and the client. I will ask you to define what you ultimately want from therapy, and together we will create long- and short-term goals. These goals will be periodically reviewed and updated as needed. My first session with you During our first session, we will both have the opportunity to ask questions and determine if the therapeutic connection is a good fit for us both. We will discuss expectations and goals for therapy and determine the next steps for treatment.
