Sandy Suarez, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Sandy!

I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a strong background in the field of mental health. I specialize in working with adults who are navigating life transitions, experiencing anxiety, depression, or self-esteem issues.

My focus

I provide individual sessions for adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief/loss, self-esteem issues, and who need additional support adjusting to life transitions. I’ll work with you to create attainable goals to empower and achieve personal growth.

My approach

Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I aim to create a collaborative process with an emphasis on present-day problems rather than dwelling on the past. CBT is based on the idea that thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected and influence one another. You can develop healthy coping skills to successfully manage life changes.

My communication style

I aim to help you feel comfortable, safe, and secure. I strive to ensure that you feel heard, respected, and valued.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist began with a passion for helping others at a very young age. I pursued a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work and a Master’s Degree in Social Work, which has provided me with a solid foundation in human development and therapeutic techniques. After earning my degree, I became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

My goals for you

Goal setting is a collaborative approach to help ensure that they are attainable and ultimately help you reach emotional well-being. We review and adjust goals as needed to reflect your progress or evolving needs.

Our first session

Our initial session will focus on building a connection and exchanging information that will assist us in goal setting. I hope to provide a warm and non-judgmental environment where you feel safe to share your emotions and concerns. It is important to discuss what brought you to therapy and any specific issues you wish to address.
