Sandra RuizHarrelson, LCSW

Psychologist
CA
Hi there, I'm Sandra! I am really glad that you are here today. I know starting therapy can take a lot of courage, and I want to acknowledge that. As a bilingual and bicultural therapist fluent in both English and Spanish, I strive to provide a welcoming, culturally responsive, and supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. My focus Feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, stress, adjustment challenges and life transitions? I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered. Together, we will identify meaningful goals and develop practical strategies to help you navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and resilience. My approach My approach is client-centered, focusing on each individual's unique needs while building on their existing strengths to foster healing and growth. Together, we will identify the challenges that may be preventing you from moving forward and explore the patterns, beliefs, behaviors that no longer serve you, and tools to navigate life's challenges. My communication style I strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment where you feel safe to begin your healing journey. I believe that meaningful change starts with a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect, and open communication. I will hold space for you to process your experiences while providing empathetic feedback and support. My journey to mental healthcare My journey into therapy began with what I saw around me. I witnessed people face grief, major life transitions, and inner conflict, often without needed support. For nearly 30 years, I have had the privilege of serving children, families, and communities. That experience has paved the way to continue to support with compassion, understand and hope.
