Sandra Orozco Loza, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Sandra!

My hope as a clinician is to help you live a fulfilled life. It takes courage to begin therapy and commitment to make permanent changes. I can help you identify your triggers, create more emotional self-awareness, and develop healthy coping skills. I am ready to develop a meaningful therapeutic relationship to support you in your healing journey.

My focus

I primarily work with adolescents and young adults who have experienced cultural oppression, immigration status issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse, domestic violence, or identify with the LGBTIQ community. I also support neurodiverse individuals.

My approach

I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults. I have ample experience treating anxiety and depression through CBT and DBT. I have also provided therapy to individuals affected by trauma, substance abuse, domestic violence, and LGBTIQ issues. Throughout my years as a social worker and therapist, I have worked with neurodiverse patients.

My communication style

I believe communication needs to be respectful, empathetic, and honest to help you reach your treatment goals. I will meet you where you are in your healing process while gently encouraging you to push past your comfort zone.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been interested in the mind and how our perception of the world affects not only the way we think but the way we feel. I studied psychology and was able to further understand how specific treatments can be effective at managing some of the most common but misunderstood mental health conditions.

My goals for you

I measure success by the way you internalize what we discuss and by seeing you become more motivated and committed to reaching your own treatment goals. I know that progress takes time, and small changes make all the difference.

Our first session

The first session is centered around understanding what brings you to therapy and determining what could help you reach your treatment goals. I will share my recommendations for treatment and engage you in a conversation about the next steps.
