Lisseth Sandoval, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Lisseth!

As a fellow ADHD-er, I've learned the importance of recognizing symptoms as strengths. I use a strengths-based approach to empower you by focusing on your unique abilities and resources, helping you navigate challenges with confidence and resilience.

My focus

I work with clients facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and stress management challenges. I feel most comfortable treating individuals looking to enhance their coping skills and build resilience, particularly those motivated to engage in their growth journey.

My approach

I use a strengths-based approach to help you recognize and leverage your unique strengths to navigate difficulties. This fosters collaboration as you participate in identifying strengths and setting goals. When appropriate, I incorporate motivational interviewing to encourage self-discovery and enhance your motivation for change.

My communication style

I strive to ensure you feel supported, safe, and truly heard, creating a therapeutic space that promotes open dialogue and trust. You can expect a respectful and encouraging atmosphere that facilitates personal growth and empowerment.

My journey to mental healthcare

My own experiences as a fellow ADHD-er taught me the importance of recognizing symptoms as strengths. What drives me is the privilege of hearing people's stories and supporting them in identifying their values, which empowers them to make meaningful changes and achieve healthier functioning.

My goals for you

I foster a collaborative environment where you actively participate in creating SMART goals—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. This partnership encourages a sense of ownership over your progress and meaningful change.

Our first session

I aim to create an environment where you can openly identify what brought you to therapy and discuss your current challenges. I ensure you're informed about confidentiality and work with you to establish a safety plan. My goal is for you to leave feeling understood and equipped to begin your therapeutic journey.
