Getting to know Sandra Acosta
Hi there, I'm Sandra!
My name is Sandra Acosta. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I am a compassionate and dedicated therapist committed to supporting individuals in navigating life's challenges and achieving personal growth.
My approach
My approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and respect, creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings. I draw on evidence-based techniques tailored to each person's unique needs, helping them build resilience, develop healthy coping strategies, and foster meaningful change. Whether you're facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or seeking greater self-awareness, I am here to guide you on your journey toward well-being and fulfillment.
My focus
I typically work with individuals who are struggling with depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and self-harm, as well as those who experience symptoms and behaviors associated with ADHD.
My communication style
I create a safe space with a calm and empathic tone. You will feel comfortable and validated while working with me.
My journey to mental healthcare
I became a therapist because I know the importance of feeling like someone is in your corner. What drives me is seeing those I work with succeed and thrive in their own environments and among the people who matter most.
My goals for you
Goal setting is uniquely tailored to each individual I work with, ensuring that goals are specific to your needs and desires.
My first session with you
During the first session, I like to ask a lot of questions to really get to know you and explore your challenges from your perspective as well as what others may have observed.
