Getting to know Melina Sanchez Martinez

Are you struggling with life stressors, anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, and self-doubt? Building a therapeutic bond is my primary focus to support you through your healing journey and empower the best version of you. My approach I am here to guide you in re-shaping your thoughts, learn self-awareness, and regain emotional strength through various practices such as CBT, mindfulness, psychoeducation, relationship management, and trauma-focus therapy. My focus I find it very rewarding work with families and individuals from all age-groups. My passion is to further expand mental health to our Spanish-speaking population and address their unique stressors and cultural values. My communication style Providing client-centered approaches means that I ensure that you feel comfortable according to your unique personality through my relaxed, friendly, and professional environment. I listen, observe, and encourage empathy as we explore and reflect on every challenge in your session. My journey to mental healthcare I have worked with the foster care population for over 10 years, and the impact of child abuse and neglect encourages me to further my education to become a bilingual trauma therapist. Trauma can distort reality, create obstacles in life, and impact behavioral functioning. We should all be given the opportunity to reach recovery, mental clarity, and individual growth. I find my work very rewarding when I can help clients heal from childhood trauma, negative patterns, and psychosocial dysfunction. My goals for you Initiating therapy may feel like the hardest step, but it will be the best goal-setting experience to improve your interpersonal qualities. Therapeutic goals will be tailored to your present stressors, and your goals will gradually evolve as we work together in building self-awareness. My first session with you During our first session, we will begin building a therapeutic relationship by getting to know you, your needs, and concerns.
