Jessica Sanchez, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jessica!

Whether it is your first time or 10th time seeking therapy, the process can be overwhelming. I’m a licensed clinical social worker who works with adults who are experiencing burnout, trauma, and anxiety. If you’re ready to work on developing coping skills to help you move forward in life, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

My focus

If you’re often juggling responsibilities and prioritizing others, wondering when it’s your turn to be heard, you're not alone. Many high achievers and caregivers feel stuck in "parent mode," neglecting their own needs. It’s essential to recognize that your struggles matter.

My approach

My approach is collaborative and centered on you. Together, we’ll create a flexible plan tailored to your journey, using techniques like strengths-based therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. I aim to help you develop coping skills, set healthy boundaries, and prioritize your needs without guilt. You deserve to flourish, not just survive.

My communication style

I prioritize active and empathetic listening to create a judgment-free space. At times, I may encourage you to reflect on your experiences, and I'm here to navigate challenging conversations alongside you as a supportive and understanding partner.

My journey to mental healthcare

From a young age, I wanted to help others after realizing mental health was dismissed in my home. Facing my own trauma, I sought therapy and found the support I’d missed. Grateful for the help I received, I became determined to give back, providing others with the understanding and support I needed as a child.

My goals for you

I prioritize collaboration with my clients, drawing on your unique strengths to create achievable goals. Throughout our work together, your objectives will naturally evolve, allowing us to make adjustments as necessary to ensure continued growth.

Our first session

Our first session will be all about getting to know each other to see if we are a good fit. I want to get to know what brings you to therapy, your goals, and introduce my approach to sessions. We will go at your pace, no matter how big or small your goal is.
