Sandra Acosta, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Sandra!

I am a compassionate and dedicated therapist committed to supporting individuals in navigating life's challenges and achieving personal growth.

My focus

I typically work with individuals who are struggling with Depression, Anxiety, Suicidal Ideation, and Self-Harm, as well as individuals who struggle with the symptoms and behaviors associated with ADHD.

My approach

My approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and respect, creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings. I draw on evidence-based techniques tailored to each person's unique needs, helping them build resilience, develop healthy coping strategies, and foster meaningful change.

My communication style

I create a safe space with a calm and empathic tone. You will feel comfortable and validated while working with me.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I know the importance of feeling like someone is in your corner. What drives me is seeing those I work with succeed and thrive in their environments and amongst the people who matter most.

My goals for you

Goal setting is very uniquely tailored to each individual I work with, and I ensure that goals are specific to the needs and desires of the individual.

Our first session

During the first session, I like to ask a lot of questions and get to know the individual and explore what the challenges are from the perspective of the individual, as well as what others are reporting seeing in the individual.
