Sarina Sandoval

My communication style

I strive to create a warm, supportive, and collaborative environment where clients feel comfortable showing up exactly as they are. My style is compassionate, down-to-earth, and genuine. I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe enough to be honest about both what's going well and what's been difficult.

My journey to mental healthcare

My experience working with families in the NICU is what truly sparked my passion for perinatal mental health. Witnessing the resilience of parents while also recognizing how isolating and emotionally overwhelming those experiences could be inspired me to focus my career on supporting individuals during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood.

My goals for you

I view goal setting as a collaborative process. Together, we'll identify what's most important to you and create goals that feel realistic, meaningful, and flexible. As therapy progresses, we regularly revisit those goals to celebrate progress, adjust when needed, and make sure our work continues to reflect your needs.

Our first session

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, what's been most challenging recently, and what you're hoping to gain from our work together. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, supported, and with a clearer sense of how we can work together.
