Getting to know Shirley Sanchez

My name is Shirley Sanchez, and I am a therapist who supports women navigating life’s transitions, including relationship changes, career shifts, motherhood, identity concerns, and times of feeling stuck or overwhelmed. I aim to provide a warm, supportive space where you can slow down, feel heard, and reconnect with yourself. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders. I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC). The provider is a "Associate Counselor" with license number 37AC00814900, practicing under the supervision of Tessa Degennaro.

What should a new client know about working with you?

As a bilingual therapist (English/Spanish), I welcome Spanish-speaking clients and strive to create a space where you can express yourself in the language that feels most comfortable. I provide culturally aware and respectful care that honors each client’s background and lived experience. I often work with women experiencing anxiety, stress, and life transitions who are balancing multiple roles and responsibilities. My goal is to offer a supportive, collaborative space where you feel understood and empowered to explore what you are going through at your own pace.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My approach is warm, compassionate, and grounded in collaboration. I view therapy as a partnership focused on building insight, strengthening coping skills, and supporting meaningful, sustainable change. I believe therapy can help you gain clarity, process difficult experiences, and move through life transitions with greater confidence. You don’t have to go through it alone.
