Shanti Sanchez

My communication style

My style of communication is relaxed, welcoming, empathic, and genuine. I want to convey my unconditional positive regard and help you feel confident enough to be open in our discussions. I am skilled at listening attentively and without judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

Since childhood, I knew I wanted to be a mental health therapist. Having gone through difficulties with family, peers, and teachers, I wish I had therapist support to guide me in developing self-regulation, coping, and social skills. I realized my vocation is to help others and take pride in guiding people through their challenges.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is collaborative. I work with you in partnership to review concerns, identify what you would like to achieve, and explore what therapeutic skills or strategies would help in reaching those goals. I meet you where you are at, emotionally and mentally, and facilitate treatment to go at your desired pace.

Our first session

During the first session, I inform you of what therapy entails, the therapist's role, and safe practice protocols. Once formalities are reviewed, I invest the remainder exploring why you are seeking therapy. We will discuss current feelings, stressors, and individualized treatment goals.
