Getting to know Paul Sanger

Hi! My name is Paul Sanger, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Benicia, CA. I build a collaborative partnership with my clients, focusing on thoughts, emotions, relationships, values, and life experiences to address whatever is causing distress. My goal is to support you through life's challenges and help you achieve personal growth. My approach I draw from multiple therapy disciplines, including person-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, emotion-focused therapy, Gestalt therapy, and psychoanalytic therapy. Our guiding principle will be, "Is this approach helpful for our current aims?" I believe everyone already has the answers they need, and supportive relationships can help uncover those answers. My goal is to use the right type of therapy to best support your unique needs and goals. My focus My clinical experience primarily involves working with individuals in crisis and those managing severe mental illness. This has allowed me to work with a diverse range of clients, including those dealing with everyday stress and life challenges. I believe that vulnerability to mental health challenges is a part of being human, and I hold great hope for those willing to seek help. I am committed to supporting all clients on their journey to well-being. My communication style My communication style is empathetic and respectful, honoring each individual's unique experience. I am calm and soft-spoken, aiming to make therapy a process of growth and understanding. I strive to foster an environment of compassion, creating a space where clients feel supported and heard. Working with me feels nurturing and focused on your personal journey. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist began with a counseling course, where I discovered my true calling. As a helper by nature, I find great meaning in the privilege of working with people through their challenges. The opportunity to effect positive change and create meaning in people
