I provide a nonjudgmental/hopeful environment when you come into my office. I have provided mental health services for the last eleven years to children and adolescents who are struggling with trauma, family challenges, school struggles, and needed emotional assistance.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Practitioner whose approach to therapy is individualized based on my clients' needs and personal background. I will establish a safe and secure therapeutic environment, free of judgement and pre-conceived notions. I strive to provide you with a therapeutic experience that is both genuine and provides unconditional acceptance to help gain your trust as I help you develop the skills needed to reach your goals and be successful in your therapeutic journey.

Do you feel stuck and overwhelmed? Do you feel like life has no meaning or purpose? Life can be difficult when walking through the valley of challenges. Be encouraged, there is hope! While there are many ways to overcome obstacles and live a fulfilled life, therapy is one way. As your therapist, my goal is to partner with you in a therapeutic alliance and tackle life's challenges as a team. My clients find me to be empathetic, empowering and an active listener. I also offer faith based therapy to individuals who choose to incorporate faith into the therapeutic process.

I love children, and especially appreciate the opportunity to work with young children and their parents. I believe that when a child is struggling with some type of emotional or behavioral issue, it is important for them to have a safe place to discuss their concerns and feel that they have someone "on their side." My office is filled with toys and art projects to help any child feel safe and comfortable.

Life can be difficult to navigate. Working a demanding job, managing a household, engaging in a relationship, caring for children, maintaining a social life, addressing health concerns, and so many other daily pressures can overwhelm anyone. My goal is to help you, your relationships, and your family to grow and thrive. By building upon your individual strengths, we can work together to find solutions that work for you to overcome the challenges you are facing.

I offer an open and nonjudgmental space for clients to discuss their challenges for the purpose of resolution. I have spent the last 12 years working in the child welfare system resulting in extensive experience working with children, families and the juvenile justice system. I am also experienced in working with various populations, including interracial families, those who identify as LGBTQ+/SOGIE, and multicultural families.

You are not alone. Struggling to follow through, make choices, motivate yourself, or feeling disorganized, impulsive, confused, struggling with emotions, thoughts and relationships? Think you may have ADHD, depression or anxiety and struggling to understand what is going on or explain to others how you feel? There is help. We help those that struggle at home, school or work. Building self-esteem, clear thinking and healthy ways to handle stress. You don't have to struggle with fear that stops you from moving forward anymore. We work with frustrated parents, sad kids, mad teens and couples living on different planets.

Do you often find yourself going back and forth about making a change in your head? Is part of you wanting to make that change and part of you not feeling sure or quite ready yet? This is all part of the change process, and you are probably further along than you realize! Sometimes a new perspective and new tools can help us "get off the seesaw" and get closer to the life we want to have. I often see clients who are dealing with trauma, substance use, anxiety, or depression. I work to build a space of non-judgment and acceptance so my clients can be seen exactly as they are without fear, so we can find the path forward together.

You are hard wired for connection. No matter the story you learned during your ‘how to human’ lessons-your brain literally needs deep, meaningful connections with other humans. And by being on this page, you and I both know that something you have learned in your journey up until this point is now in contrast with some vital aspect of your life and you are experiencing conflict. And this thing, this person, this job, whatever it is, it motivates you enough to think that perhaps there really could be a different narrative. And that hope, inspires you to wonder what I, Kristen Sanchez, could do to help.

Each person is unique,and deserves to be treated as an individual. I believe in providing support and acceptance to assist you in feeling safe sharing problems. Being down to earth and approachable are things I strive for. I hope to assist you in finding tools to feel better so you can find your "best" life. Usually, I am able to find time for new clients within 48 hours and can accommodate most schedules. I am happy to consult with you to see if I am the right therapist for you.

Are you feeling stressed or depressed? Perhaps you are struggling with a specific issue, feeling lost, or maybe you're feeling completely overwhelmed? Life can indeed be overwhelming. It sometimes diminishes our ability to see the solutions to the problems we are facing. There are many ways to deal with life's challenges. Sometimes the ways we choose to deal with them are unhealthy or counterproductive.

I work with individuals with a wide range of concerns. My clinical specialties and interests include disordered eating, body image, obesity and weight loss, LGBTQ, gender identity, phase of life transitions, grief/loss, relationships, assertive communication, issues related to trauma/adverse life experiences, holistic health and wellness, self-compassion, and promoting self-awareness and insight. My background includes significant experience in the delivery of behavioral health care including individual psychotherapy and inpatient, intensive-outpatient, and outpatient groups. In addition to my experience with psychotherapy services, I also complete psychological assessments, provide supervision to pre-doctoral psychology interns, and consultation services.

It's the perfect time to create the life and relationships you want! Therapy doesn't have to be an anxiety producing activity. Long-lasting change takes patience and time to accomplish. However, I understand that hard work is necessary to achieve the timely results clients appreciate, so I am direct in my approach. I love helping people enjoy their lives more fully and accomplish their goals by helping them decrease their depression and anxiety symptoms and increase their self-compassion.

The first thing that anyone says when describing me is, “Alyssa loves her work!”. I’m not only good at providing my clients with a listening ear in times of need and skills to better help them navigate these challenges, but I also really enjoy doing it. I believe that everyone deserves to be heard, to feel that their struggles and challenges are valid and to know that they are not alone.  During my time working in the mental health field, I’ve gained valuable skills in communication, understanding, and patience that I bring to every session.

I specialize in working with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, depression, low self-esteem or have trouble setting boundaries. I enjoy working with those who have a history of trauma, as I have a great deal of experience and training in this area.

Do you need a place to be able to move forward from your concerns? Do you feel like life throws obstacles that are hard to overcome? Mental health is a part of life that we have a tendency to overlook, and it takes strength and courage to do what you need to feel peace inside. When this happens we may notice an accumulation of emotional pain that can be difficult to cope with. You deserve happiness so our work together will involve addressing the areas in your life that you wish to improve so you can live the life as you see it. LGBTQIA+ Community Friendly
