Spanish Therapists in Merced, CA

¡Hola! ¡Bienvenidos a mi página! Mi nombre es Leticia. Soy terapeuta bilingüe en los condados de Stanislaus y Merced. Soy un inmigrante de primera generación de Oaxaca, México. Mis experiencias como inmigrante, aprendiz de inglés y defensora/intérprete de mi familia han moldeado quién soy, no solo en mi vida personal sino también en mi vida profesional. Me apasiona ayudar a otros a alcanzar sus metas para vivir una vida plena. Mis servicios se adaptan a un estilo de vida ocupado, ofrezco sesiones en línea, en persona, por la noche y los fines de semana.

I’m a bilingual (English - Spanish) immigrant, and as such, I have got my share of challenging experiences. Life has provided me with great opportunities to build skills, develop and practice compassion, and break stigma. My therapeutic style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, and compassion. In therapy, I incorporate concrete coping strategies while providing a safe, and supportive environment.

In my practice, my ideal client navigates the complexities of mental health challenges. I offer personalized support using evidence-based practices to empower individuals, fostering resilience, enhancing coping mechanisms, and facilitating sustainable mental well-being. Through a client-centered approach, I build trust and collaboration, tailoring interventions to specific needs. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues, I am committed to guiding clients toward holistic well-being.

Therapy is the journey back to yourself, short-term to clarify a course of action or longer, looking at patterns that have led to pain: overwhelm, isolation, poor boundaries, addiction, depression, loneliness, stress, and more. Our focus will be on who you are, what you need, and what you want to be in your life. Even when you feel disconnected from yourself, weighed down by problems and compromises, there is an essential and valuable you--to be expressed and to be lived. My goal is to help you to connect to, build, and express this person. My life's work is with people working to heal their relationship with themselves

Have you been feeling stressed and overwhelmed? Are your worried thoughts keeping you up at night, and keep you from being present in your life? Anxiety affects many people at some point in life and therapy from a well trained therapist can help bring a new sense of calmness and peace.

My approach to every person is to be respectful of every person I meet. I listen with an open heart and truly value the dignity and worth of every individual that I meet with. I will do my best to help you better understand that your thoughts, feelings and behaviors are all connected. Most of the time, I find that we need to work backwards and see what the problem behaviors are, then identify those feelings affecting us and finally get to the thoughts and limiting beliefs that are the root cause of the disturbance. Overall, I am an empathic listener, I have great insight for patterns and I love helping people feel better.

Do you wonder why you make plans, have goals but often don't follow through? Or you stay in bed most of the day and feel unproductive? Maybe you feel unmotivated and neglect social events? Sometimes you feel anxious and start to panic at the thought of leaving the house or going to an event with a lot of people. Do you find yourself avoiding your friends calls or cutting off those who are important to you? Do you feel like you just can't move forward and think about your past too much? Do you want to live again? I'm glad you're finally taking that step to talk to someone about it. It is the most selfless thing you can do.

My experience as a Mental Health Therapist has developed over the year by providing support to clients who have experienced: Severe Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, Mood Disregulation Disorders, Phobias, and other diagnosis that often impair a persons's ability to function and achieve goals in life. I believe that we all have the potential to succeed in life and the potential to achieve greatness. A healthy mind is crucial to success, as we often face critical decisions on a daily basis. I firmly believe that by cultivating and maintaining a positive outlook on our mental health, we can all reach our desired goals.

Hi there, My name is Angelica Sanchez and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I have worked in community mental health for several years which has allowed me to work with a very diverse population. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults and have learned how important it is to be flexible and nonjudgmental. I am passionate in helping my clients cope with life's challenges and reach their personal mental health goals. If you're dealing with stress, trauma, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help.

Have you ever felt that life just hasn't been going the way you'd envisioned? That things seem "too hard to handle"? I'm here to help get you to a place of "feeling like yourself again." I am a therapist with over 12 years of experience working with adolescents and young adults. My main focus is to grow resiliency skills that you already possess, seek ways to self-care in order to manage stress, to help identify unmet needs, and find ways to get those needs met, improve communication skills, explore who you want to be, and how to get there.

:Getting to the root of your pain, learning to deal with it, building upon your strengths then learning to act versus react to people and events is the goal of my approach. I have a long history of working with diverse populations, who have developed varied problems: Mental Health, Substance Abuse, Marital, Parenting, Occupational, grief and more My approach is to work with your strengths; help you to develop new views and skills and then organize them into a plan that works in obtaining your goals.

I look forward to helping you manage anxiety and depression, set boundaries, reduce stress, and learn how to protect your mental health so you can focus on what truly matters to you. Prioritizing your mental health is the first step toward your healing journey, and it would be an honor to walk alongside you.

It can be challenging to process painful memories/emotions in therapy. I aim to create a safe space for everyone to feel comfortable being themselves. I have years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in different settings like schools, community clinics, hospitals, etc. I seek to reduce the stigma placed on mental health, the geek/nerd community, ethnic minorities, and everyone who is often viewed as ‘other.’

You MATTER, you BELONG, and you make SENSE. We all do. Are you looking for a safe space to speak your truth, understand why you feel what you feel, be validated, and seen with compassion? Wanting emotional relief and better relationships with yourself and others? I love watching my clients reconnect with themselves and learn how deeply they make sense. Together, you can name what you truly want, practice asking for it or saying 'no' with integrity, and celebrate as things fall into place. More presence and connection is possible.

Life can get complicated and there is no handbook on how to handle things like depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship problems. It is important to know two things: 1. you are not alone, 2. challenges are always opportunities to grow and change your life. You are probably here because it's time to "do something different." Let me help guide you through this journey!
