Getting to know Sandra Lynn-Fulcher
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) living in Southern California with over 40 years of professional experience. I hold a Master's in Counseling from the University of Southern California. Throughout my career, I have helped clients manage stress, anxiety, substance abuse, and process addictions, as well as relationship and intimacy issues. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring therapeutic sessions and treatment plans to meet each person's specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. I am here to support and empower you on that journey.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I approach our therapeutic relationship with the understanding that each person is unique via their experiences both socially and in their families and that each person views life from their own unique perspective. I see my part as understanding each client and learning how they each experience and see the world.
My background is varied. I have had the privilege of working with a multicultural clientele in both inpatient and outpatient settings as well as within my private practice. I also taught counseling for many years helping students of diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds to become quality counselors. I have 2 adult children, step grandchildren, and one deceased child. I have been happily married for almost 40 years to my current husband after divorcing my first husband after 17 years of marriage. I have had experiences of children from infancy through adulthood as well as the grief of a dying a deceased child. I was also a returning student going back to school at age 30. I love Yoga and Pilates and am certified to teach both.
My counseling experience is wide and diverse: counseling those with substance abuse issues and their families, helping families with divorce and reconciliation, family transitional issues, stress management, anxiety issues, grief issues, relationship and family issues. It has been my honor to work with each to of my clients.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit
for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want
to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be
that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you
and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals
and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you
will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear
understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to
trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also
important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important
to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as
exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be
willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different
techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important
to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
