Yazmin Sanchez, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Yazmin!

I have clinical expertise working with children, adults with acute mental illness, substance use disorder, and the geriatric population. My goal is to help my clients find a happier and healthier balance in life and relationships to improve their quality of life.

My focus

I am passionate about getting to know my clients and helping them identify their strengths by empowering my clients to build effective strategies and coping skills to handle life stressors and events.

My approach

I utilize a person-centered approach where I focus on my client's needs and establish a supportive client-therapist relationship. My goal is to create a safe therapeutic environment by building a trusting and collaborative relationship and empowering my clients to take charge of their future.

My communication style

I tailor my treatment approach to the individual needs of my clients. I get to know my clients, listen empathetically to their concerns and unique issues, and provide culturally competent care in a secure and safe environment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have worked intensively with families through wraparound services, providing them with tools to improve and sustain their quality of living. I have a background in cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, trauma work, relapse and crisis prevention.

My goals for you

Building effective strategies and coping skills to handle life stressors. Finding a clear path forward that is in line with their personal values.

Our first session

My approach to therapy is warm and genuine, and I provide a safe therapeutic environment to give my clients the space to express themselves openly. In a comfortable and nonjudgmental atmosphere, I strive to assist my clients in growing and becoming better versions of themselves.
