Getting to know Sarai Velasquez

I’m a bilingual (Spanish-speaking) therapist with a holistic approach and 8 years of experience working with adults (18+). I’m passionate about creating a safe, culturally affirming space where clients can grow, heal, and build meaningful change.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is holistic, empathetic, and collaborative. I work best with open-minded clients ready to grow. I offer validation and deep understanding while also being direct when needed, gently challenging you to reflect, build insight, and find your own answers.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Together, we create realistic goals and break them into small, actionable steps. I check in on your progress each session and tailor the pace to your needs. We focus on learning, practicing, and reviewing skills to support growth and long-term success. In our first session, we focus on getting to know each other and building a comfortable connection. We’ll discuss your goals, what you’re seeking, and how the process works. I also emphasize patience, self-compassion, and being open to learning about yourself.
