Getting to know Sara Sanchez

It would be a pleasure to work with you on your therapeutic journey! It takes a lot of strength and courage to be able to seek help! I work primarily with individuals, couples, and families, including but not limited to depression/anxiety, trauma, addiction/substance abuse, and relationship issues. I specialize in trauma work and integrate EMDR therapy as well as other trauma-focused approaches to work through unresolved trauma and adverse events from the past that may leave you stuck. My approach I use a variety of modalities and interventions, dependent on the presenting issue. I adjust and tailor my care to the client's needs. CBT, DBT, EMDR, Family systems, attachment work, grief and loss, and more. Making sure clients have developed more coping abilities, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation skills is crucial in my work as well, especially in trauma work. My focus I mostly work with young adults who are managing anxiety, trauma, addiction, cultural issues/family conflicts, life transitions, depression, and more! Whether you’re working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring your personal goals, I’ll work with you to create a growth plan that feels empowering and achievable. My communication style I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with empathy. I tend to have great trusting relationships with my clients, and clients view me as being very authentic with them. I encourage clients to connect the dots in their lives to allow for more insight and understanding of who they are. My journey to mental healthcare Throughout my childhood, I remember my mother often studying/working on her PH.D. in Psychology while raising her 3 kids (me being the youngest).
