Together we identify your personal strengths and develop strategies so you can live life the way you desire.

M. Natasha Sanchez, MSW, LIMHP, LICSW, is a community based therapist providing services to those seeking to improve their relationships with others, change or eliminate troubling behaviors and habits, improve their control over mood and anxiety, perform better at school or work, adjust to difficult life events/transitions, and those who simply wish to gain insight into their personal past in order to welcome a bright and more honest future. Natasha's orientation to counseling is relationship based (collaborative), flexible, respectful and confidential.

Welcome to the beginning of a potentially transforming time in your life. The decision to seek therapy is both scary and courageous as it requires a person to be vulnerable with a perfect stranger. Every time I begin to work with a new person, I am always awed by the motivation and fortitude it takes to make changes in one's life. To explore our fears, motivations, dreams, goals and strengths is not necessarily the norm of our society, however, to embark on this journey provides a significantly more fulfilled life.

Whatever challenge, struggle or conflict you are facing, you are not alone. Life has many transitions. Let's work on calming the chaos and healing past hurts so you can become the confident, loving person you were meant to be.

My approach to therapy is about connection and self-compassion. I use a direct approach in a relaxed environment without judgement. I believe that setting boundaries and using self-care can lead to a happier, more fulfilling life. I have a particular interest in working with people who have relationship issues, lack of connection to their emotions, or who are going through life transitions. I have extensive experience integrating somatic work with the science of attachment and nervous system regulation along with attunement.

My primary goal in therapy is to provide a safe space where you feel you can be open and curious - our work starts there. My therapy approach is warm, collaborative, and holistic. My greatest focus will be on helping you develop a deeper awareness of and compassion for yourself, so you can feel more empowered to make the choices in your life that feel aligned with your values and purpose.

“The truest story – the one that will always be truest – is that I am a human being, being human. Sometimes, I am my best self. Sometimes, not so much. But goshdarn, I am trying to do better. I am always trying to do better. My guess is that you are, too.” – Laura McKowen. Life is a mixed bag of wonderful and weird. I believe therapy is a collaborative effort between client and clinician that consists of making sense of past experiences and being able to “re-story” our lives. You are the expert in your own life, and I am honored to be on this journey with you.
