Gloria Sanchez

I'm Gloria — a bilingual LCSW with over 26 years of experience helping people heal from trauma, anxiety, and the weight of things that were never properly addressed. I'm Latina and Native American, and I practice in both English and Spanish. I work with clients of all ages, from children to seniors, and I specialize in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and women's issues. My approach isn't one-size-fits-all — I pay attention to your cultural context, your family story, and what "healing" actually means for you specifically. Many of my clients come to me after feeling like they weren't truly understood by past therapists. I take that seriously.

My work is strength-based and trauma-informed. I don't start from a place of what's wrong with you — I start from what you've survived and what you're capable of. I draw on Trauma-Focused CBT and Cognitive Behavioral Family Therapy, but I adapt those frameworks to fit who you are. For me, therapy is a collaboration. I'll ask questions, listen deeply, and help you build a path forward that's rooted in your values and lived experience. I believe healing happens in the context of relationship — so building trust with you is never a side goal. It's the foundation.

Our first session is a conversation, not an assessment. I'll want to understand what brought you to therapy right now, a little about your background, and what you hope changes. There's no pressure to share everything at once — we'll move at whatever pace feels right for you. By the end of our first session, you'll have a clearer sense of whether working together feels like a good fit, and we'll have an early idea of what we want to focus on. Sessions are virtual, so there's no commute — just a quiet space for you, wherever you are. Y si prefieres nuestra primera sesión en español, con todo gusto.
