What is therapy like? What does a typical session with you look like?

I am passionate about helping others be who they truly are and to recognize their gifts. I believe that “perspective is everything” and our thoughts and the way we look at things and the world create our reality. I also live by the belief that “nothing changes until I step out of my comfort zone and do something different.”

In the 10 plus years I have been working in mental health, the one thing I can say for certain is that everyone has the capacity to heal and grow with strengths and skills already present within. Whether you are an athlete looking to align your mental strength with your physical skill, a child or adolescent learning to cope with change and transition, or a parent attempting to guide your child through life's challenges in the best way possible for them, I am here to provide guidance. I work collaboratively with clients and families to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges that impact functioning and performance in their everyday lives. I also look to help those athletes whom would like to increase their mental strength in order to elevate their success on and off the playing field. In my personal life, I am a husband, father, jiujitsu practitioner, and golf addict. I love to sit and enjoy a good cup of coffee with my daughter as we bing watch her current cartoon obsession. I love my family and getting outdoors. I am also bilingual Spanish speaking, with deep connection to my Guatemalan and El Salvadorian roots. My mantra in life is to try and "accept everything and judge nothing". When we can attempt to be present in every moment, we give ourselves the best chance at the healthiest response.

Hi! မင်္ဂလာပါ! My name is Sandy and I am Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) providing counseling to teenagers (12+) and adults in Illinois. My past clinical experience includes working with adolescents and adults, and veterans, especially those with past trauma and/or those who struggle with anxiety and depression. I also am passionate about working with immigrants, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ community members and multicultural populations. I especially believe in providing support for these populations as they are often systematically underserved and overlooked in behavioral health and healthcare. My therapeutic approach is informed by social justice, empathy, cultural humility, and respect for diversity. I believe in creating a safe and inclusive space where clients can explore their experiences, process their trauma, and reclaim their sense of agency and resilience. Being an immigrant myself, I understand firsthand the challenges and difficulties of immigrating and navigating life in a new country while preserving one's cultural identity. Drawing from evidence-based modalities such as trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), humanistic therapy and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), I work collaboratively with clients to address the unique challenges they face, including acculturative stress, discrimination, and intergenerational trauma. My goal is to empower clients to heal from their past experiences, help end cycles of trauma and cultivate a sense of resilience in their lives. As a therapist, I enjoy creating a safe space for individuals to share their experiences, thoughts, and emotions without judgment or biases. I hope empower clients to heal from their past experiences and help them move closer towards their goals. If you're ready, feel free to reach out for a free 15-minute free consultation call.

Hello and Welcome! It has been a dream of mine to become a therapist since I was about 11 years old. Sexual health discussions have never made me uncomfortable in any way, and I like to provide a safe space for clients to discuss these issues. Many people experience shame about their relationship preferences, kinks, and sexual orientation. So I like to help individuals and couples who may be struggling in this area. I also enjoy working with clients who are gender diverse, are thinking about or currently transitioning, and so forth. I have a sex therapy certification through the Sexual Health Alliance, and will be pursuing AASECT certification as well. I have attended trans/gender diverse vocal alteration training. Respark is an inclusive practice that aims to work with clients of all backgrounds and lifestyles.

I'm a licensed psychologist in Florida that specializes in helping high-achievers, professionals, and entrepreneurs heal attachment issues in relationships, codependency, complex relational trauma, and face other existential dilemmas. I also specialize in providing therapy to other mental health professionals.

With over 20 years of experience in healthcare, I offer compassionate and understanding treatment for a wide range of common mental health concerns. I take a holistic approach to mental health care, combining evidence-based treatments with empathy and personalized attention to address the unique needs of each patient.

Committed to ongoing education and staying current on the latest advancements in psychiatric care, I ensure that my patients receive the highest quality of care possible. TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: I believe in taking a holistic approach to mental health care, combining evidence-based treatments with empathy and personalized attention to address the unique needs of each patient.
