Sandra Lynn-Fulcher, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Sandra!

I approach therapy understanding that each person is unique through their experiences and views life from their own special point of view. I see my role as understanding you and learning how you experience the world. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring our sessions to meet your specific needs.

My focus

I work with individuals and couples who want to change their lives and build healthy relationships. I help people with addictions, work-life issues, grief and loss, stress and anxiety, aging, sexual orientation, parenting, and relationship concerns. My goal is to help you navigate these challenges and find more comfort and joy in your life.

My approach

I use person-centered therapy, listening to understand your communication and building a strong therapeutic bond of trust. Cognitive behavioral approaches help you become aware of and change thoughts causing problems. I also use narrative therapy to help you create a new story of your life that builds self-esteem.

My communication style

Clients tell me they feel heard, understood, supported, and cared for. This is my goal. I want to create a therapeutic environment that helps you achieve the goals you set out to accomplish.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I wanted to help others while becoming independent emotionally, financially, and mentally. I learned early that a good therapist must first help themselves, so I went through my own therapy and achieved everything I came to accomplish. This experience drives me to give back to others.

My goals for you

Goal setting is always your choice. My job is to help clarify your goals and create achievable steps to reach them. I see our relationship as complete when you have achieved the goals you set for yourself in a way that is satisfying to you.

Our first session

Our first session is about getting to know each other. I want to understand why you are seeking help and what I can do to support you in your journey. It is a time to set goals for our work ahead.
