Teletherapy for Nebraska

As a psychotherapist, I can assist you in unlocking your innate potential. In our busy lives we tend to lose perspective and neglect caring for the body, mind and inner self. In psychotherapy, you are assessed in a holistic manner using a biopsychosocial approach and together we work on areas of your life that are in need of examination and healing. You will feel safe and supported on your journey and will never be judged for being who you are. I enjoy working with clients from a diverse background and embrace diversity in my practice. I'm open-minded, compassionate, experienced (but not stuffy), and have a sense of humor.

I am an LGBTQ+ therapist at A Better Way Therapy in Omaha, NE. I work with adults, adolescents, families, couples, and military personnel in my career, and I enjoy every minute of it. I love seeing the progress individuals and groups make throughout the therapeutic process, and seeing how strong people can be on a daily basis. I enjoy seeing my clients realize that they are in charge of their own lives and witnessing the confidence that builds within them. I am also working on completing my certification for Sex Therapy and am a member of AASECT.

In a safe, nurturing and non-judgmental environment we will address your healing, strength discovery and relationships. Everyone is unique, so I use a holistic approach to work closely with you to create a customized treatment plan. I am here to help you fully recover and have a better relationship with yourself and others.

I value and honor the complex ways in which each person engages with the world by collaborating with clients to create an open, safe, and non-judgmental space, prioritizing clients’ autonomy throughout the therapeutic process. As a queer-identified practitioner, I bring personal and professional experience to creating an affirming space, regardless of whether gender and/or sexuality are central issues in your current therapeutic needs. I'm experienced in working with folks experiencing anxiety, depression, mood variations, and the multitude of responses that can result from trauma.

Choosing a therapist is hard work, and I can imagine overwhelming. Finding a good fit, someone you can trust, is incredibly important. Therapy won't work without it. My strengths are building open, positive, and helpful relationships with my clients and being able to give and accept feedback. I am a friendly person, I like to smile, and I bring humor into session. I am passionate about what I do and I am lucky to love my job.

Do you struggling identifying or communicating what turns you on, puts you in the mood, or what you want during sex? Are you struggling with having a lower libido than your partner? Maybe your experiences with religion and purity culture have affected your relationship with sex and sexuality. Sex therapy is designed to help individuals and couples address the complex factors impacting sexual satisfaction. The goal of sex therapy is to assist clients in working through these challenges so they have a more satisfying and fulfilling sex life - whether in a relationship or single.

When your primary relationship is difficult, it impacts every aspect of your life. You can't focus as well at work, you become short and snappy with your children and/or others, you can't sleep, you stop eating or eat too much. It can feel so threatening when someone you care about doesn't seem to care about you, or when you wonder if you even care about them anymore. All of these feelings are normal in relationships but they don't have to last forever. If you allow them to push you to growth, you can have the relationship you've always craved.

Getting to know who you are and what you are is a harrowing journey for even the hardiest among us. Let me embark on it with you and be your guide in discovering who you are, what's important to you, and how to get there! I have experience working through gender exploration, sexual orientation exploration, major life transitions, depression, anxiety, romantic relationship difficulties, sexual topics, and so much more. I am the best fit for clients who need a gentle, empathetic push towards self-love and fulfillment. I particularly love working with the struggling perfectionist.

If you're trying to balance stressors and move past pain only to find yourself feeling stuck, I'm here to offer support as you find your way toward feeling your best. Even in the most difficult or overwhelming circumstances, we can find meaningful ways to move forward. The pressure from stress, anxiety, and trauma can show up in a person's mind, relationships, body, or other important areas of life. But oftentimes, these experiences reveal what in our lives might need attention.

I believe in people living their best life and being their most authentic self. I believe that everyone has the right to inclusive, competent, weight neutral, and trauma informed mental health care and that's what I focus my practice on. I am an affirming and inclusive therapist who believes in calling out systemic and societal oppression and injustices. While I can't tell you a space is safe I hope that my office can become one for you.

I believe in meeting people where they are and value providing a comfortable and inclusive space for all. I know therapy can be intimidating, and I pride myself on bringing a healthy amount of humor into the therapy room while holding compassion and working through the trauma. As a therapist, I acknowledge systemic injustices that impact my client's experiences in their identity development and celebrate their uniqueness. I welcome all identities and am active in continuing my education and training to meet the needs of historically marginalized clients effectively.

I understand that we all encounter difficult emotions and come to face challenges that we do not feel equipped for. I believe that therapy can be a safe environment to help you process your thoughts and feelings, understand yourself, and help you grow. Regardless of whether you are dealing with new changes or have suffered with anxiety or depression for years, I will meet you with empathy and a nonjudgmental, open-minded, inclusive approach to meet your individual needs. I am committed to joining you to help you reach your goals.

You are hard wired for connection. No matter the story you learned during your ‘how to human’ lessons-your brain literally needs deep, meaningful connections with other humans. And by being on this page, you and I both know that something you have learned in your journey up until this point is now in contrast with some vital aspect of your life and you are experiencing conflict. And this thing, this person, this job, whatever it is, it motivates you enough to think that perhaps there really could be a different narrative. And that hope, inspires you to wonder what I, Kristen Sanchez, could do to help.

We all need to be seen and understood, and it’s my goal to make therapy a space where that happens.

I often work with people who have experienced trauma in relationships, a lack of emotional support in childhood, religious trauma, and marginalization. I can help with if you've been struggling to make changes you want in your life and relationships, have been overwhelmed by emotions, or don't ever know what you're even feeling.
