Johnathon Sanchez, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Johnathon!

I specialize in helping clients with childhood and complex trauma, PTSD, existential purpose and meaning, relational issues, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. My work focuses on empowering you to move beyond where you feel stuck.

My focus

I work with clients suffering from trauma of all kinds, including military, veterans, first responders, and healthcare workers. I focus on childhood and complex trauma, abuse, PTSD, existential purpose, relational issues, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

My approach

I create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I use EMDR, attachment theory, and existential therapy to help you face your past and overcome issues affecting your mind, body, and spirit.

My communication style

I am approachable and warm. Therapy should feel natural and easy, but I don't shy away from challenging you when needed.

My journey to mental healthcare

I knew from a young age that I wanted to use my ability to connect with people in an altruistic field. Becoming a therapist has always felt like a natural fit, and that is validated every day.

My goals for you

Goal setting is an ongoing process that we'll assess often. Goals can be broad or specific, short-term or long-term.

Our first session

First sessions are about getting to know each other, your experience in therapy, and what healthy outcomes and expectations look like for you.
