Getting to know Joanna Sanchez-Barragan

Taking the first steps to begin your therapy journey can be challenging. I'm here to meet you where you are and will support you in guiding you through these next steps. I'm a bilingual, first-gen Latina therapist. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults of diverse backgrounds. I specialize in supporting individuals facing life transitions, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I take a collaborative approach, and together we can get you back to an improved state of mind. My approach I engage in a collaborative approach, supporting you in identifying your primary goals to shape your treatment. I tailor my approach based on your needs. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and trauma-focused modalities. I will be aware of your unique needs and will tailor treatment to best meet your goals. My focus I have specialized in working with BIPOC individuals, predominantly young adults, with experiences of anxiety, depression, and trauma. I take approaches addressing life transitions, cultural and political stressors, as well as breaking generational traumas/behaviors. I hope to empower individuals through building a sense of control in their lives, self-esteem, processing, coping skills, and reflection. My communication style I work on building a safe space full of trust, transparency, and clear communication. I will model open and direct communication, as well as implement active listening in our environment to promote reflection and insight. My journey to mental healthcare My journey began with an early passion to be a helping individual to others in my community. As the oldest daughter of immigrants, I've witnessed and have been a right-hand person to my own family, and have had empathy for the challenges many others face in our community. In my early training, I've worked with troubled youth in foster care, rural communities, BIPOC, and individuals with complex trauma experiences.
