Therapists in Fresno, CA

Hi there! My name is Ana Sanchez, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist here to provide some support in times when you need someone to talk to. I'd love to be a part of your support system and collaborate on working towards a transformative therapeutic experience in order to help you reach your goals. I have had the privilege of working with individuals having mild-to-moderate symptoms and providing services to individuals, couples, and families. I enjoy working with individuals one-on-one as well as the Spanish-speaking population on their therapeutic journey.

I stay committed to mental health work because I want to support underserved communities and help people see their own strengths. My goal is to empower clients by helping them understand their challenges better, giving them tools to handle them, and encouraging them to use their existing strengths. In therapy, I mix techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build coping skills. I focus on the strengths each client already has.

IEEs: I work with families who need unbiased and informative independent evaluations that will accurately depict their child's educational needs and supports.

Hi! My name is Larissa Alley. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California with over 8 years of experience providing compassionate and effective mental health care. My primary goal is to help clients navigate life's challenges and achieve their personal goals. I specialize in anxiety, depression, stress management, relationship issues, grief, and life transitions by using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other theoretical approaches to help my clients make progress and start feeling better.

Therapy is a protected space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment or rejection. My role is to help you find your way through inner conflicts and emotional difficulties. In therapy we work together to bring meaning and healing to your experience. Through the therapy process you may experience increased self-esteem and increased clarity about who you are and what's important to you. If you've experienced abuse or trauma, I'll work to help you regain a sense of physical and emotional safety, and help you create a healthy connection to yourself and others.

I work with adults who are coping with various concerns such as depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder. I also work effectively with individuals experiencing situational stressors such as bereavement, relationship conflicts, or loss. In a supportive and confidential environment, I help clients reduce emotional distress, understand problematic behaviors, and develop tools to improve their quality of life.

Seeking support takes great courage so give yourself credit for getting here, right where you are. While I know it is difficult to open up and trust in someone for relief, I also know that nothing is more exhausting than staying miserable. My hope is that in our sessions you will find support in changing the things that may be causing you emotional pain, resolving the cause of unhealthy behaviors or thoughts and ultimately healing those things that hinder you from experiencing the life you want to live. It might just be time to mend emotional wounds and take back a sense of power and autonomy over your life.

My core philosophy on effective therapy is one that is relationship-driven and collaborative of my client’s views and narratives that guide their life stories. I believe that clients are the expert of their lives and that my role is to be a guide and witness to the stories that my clients bring into treatment. Every session is crucial to the overall health and well-being of my clients, and so I believe in creating a space that will allow for freedom, agency, and safety in expressing and fully showing up as one needs to.

Let’s be honest, life is often a struggle. We go through hardships in our relationships, at work, school, home, and within ourselves.
