Getting to know Sasha Velez

Welcome! As a solution-focused clinician, I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) . I can teach you simple, effective stress-relieving techniques that complement talk therapy. My non-judgmental approach balances the need to listen and validate your experiences while also challenging you to address and resolve life barriers. I have over a decade of experience working with adolescents, young adults and families struggling with a variety of challenges including ADHD, anger management, anxiety, family conflict, interpersonal relationships, self esteem and trauma. My experience derives from my work within the fields of child services, outpatient services, schools, correctional facilities, and residential facilities. Past and current clients have described my style as empathetic, authentic, warm, energetic and supportive, all with a touch of "tough love". Managing your mental health can be challenging whether you are facing new obstacles or have an existing diagnosis. Here there is no judgment, only a listening ear with positive regard and empathy. Change begins with your mindset and if you're willing, I can help!

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
