Getting to know Vanessa Sanchez
Sometimes reflecting on the choices made in your life can bring up inner fears, resulting in difficulties with changing the way you are. It can lead to pulling away from others or even sacrificing your needs.
Sometimes these unhelpful beliefs can be overwhelming, leading to indecisiveness, lack of motivation, or disappointment in yourself. You may start to feel guilt, shame, and even hopelessness.
Sometimes it's because you never learned to be kind to yourself or that your needs do matter, resulting in taking care of everyone else's needs while ignoring your own.
Struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma is never easy; there are no quick fixes, and you can't just "snap out of it." There is, however, support that can begin to heal you. Seeking therapy may feel stressful or even scary, and though it can be difficult, it can alleviate some of the burdens you have been holding onto.
I hold a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from California State University, Long Beach, and I am committed to providing compassionate support to help you navigate these challenges and find a path toward healing.
What should a new client know about working with you?
In our sessions, you can expect a personalized and tailored approach focused on your unique needs. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, and together, we will create a therapeutic alliance based on trust, empathy, and mutual respect. I provide a warm and supportive environment where you are truly seen and heard. Together, we will embark on a therapeutic journey to unravel the areas of your life that may be causing you difficulty and hindering your personal growth. Through our work together, you will gain insight into your past, uncover patterns, and develop a deep understanding of yourself. This newfound self-awareness will empower you to make meaningful changes, cultivate self-acceptance, and navigate life's challenges with greater resilience and confidence.
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.
