My name is Esperanza Sanchez. I am the daughter of Mexican immigrants. I am an Adult Child of an Alcoholic (dad). My mom lost herself in caretaking her husband and 8 children. This family chaos and emotional emptiness led me to help others like myself. When we grow up without safety, protection, boundaries, guidance we have to figure It out on our own. What the hell do we know?! But we sort of figure it out; graduating from school, college, become professionally successful but we can't shake IT off. . . heart racing, mind racing, the negative voice: "que pendeja eres" (you're so stupid), "tu no puedes. . . (you can't do. . .)

I have been providing mental health services for over 30 years. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults (18-65+) in inpatient and outpatient agencies in California, Washinton state, and Las Vegas. I am Mexican American bilingual and bicultural and have been privileged to work with that population since working in San Diego. I am always learning and seeking new more current modalities to give each patient individualized treatment. I am very excited to learn more about the Neuropsychic studies and how learning more how the brain systems interactions result in mental and emotional disfunction.

As a therapist I believe transformation is a lifelong skill that can be a terrifying, thrilling and an empowering journey. I try my best to provide a safe environment for my clients and to join them where they are at; in their own unique process of bettering themselves. When an individual is allowed to speak freely, it promotes acceptance, understanding one's own values/ beliefs and allows mind, body and spiritual growth. As a client centered therapist, it is my commitment to offer authenticity, collaboration and an empathetic approach to one's individual or couple's journey.
