Theary Sandoval, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Theary!

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling with anxiety and depression? Reaching out for therapy is hard, and my goal is to help you feel comfortable, understood, and supported from the very first session. We’ll move at your pace, working together to help you feel more confident and at ease in your day-to-day life.

My focus

My goal is to help adults navigate anxiety, life transitions, and everyday stressors. We’ll work together at your pace to build effective coping skills, strengthen confidence, and develop practical tools that help you feel more in control of your life.

My approach

I take a collaborative and practical approach. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you notice thoughts that might be holding you back and find healthier ways to think about things. I also use mindfulness tools to help you feel calmer and more in control when life feels overwhelming.

My communication style

I’m approachable and down-to-earth. I pay attention to your needs and energy. I work with you to create a space where you feel safe to share at your own pace.

My journey to mental healthcare

I’ve always been drawn to helping roles and found therapy to be a personal way to support people through struggles that can be hard to face alone. What keeps me motivated is seeing clients make progress and cheering them on as they build self-esteem, confidence, and reach their potential.

My goals for you

Therapy is a team effort. We’ll set goals that matter to you, like feeling less anxious, taking action, boosting your confidence, or handling life’s ups and downs. As you meet your goals, we’ll adjust your plan so it stays helpful and keeps you moving forward.

Our first session

Our first session is a relaxed space to get to know each other, talk about what brought you to therapy, explore your goals, and make time for any questions so you can feel comfortable moving forward.
