I’m Heidy Sanchez, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of Sana Counseling & Wellness Services, LLC. With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in supporting women as they work toward their goals and free themselves from the weight of limiting thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals, families, and groups across the lifespan, addressing a wide range of challenges. I don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach to therapy—each person’s story is unique, and their treatment should be too.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I’m committed to co-creating a personalized therapeutic experience with every client. I believe that the connection between therapist and client is the cornerstone of meaningful progress. My goal is to offer a safe, supportive space built on trust, empathy, and mutual respect—where you can feel seen, heard, and empowered. In our first session together, we'll start building our partnership simply by getting to know each other and diving into the specific challenges you're facing. My goal is to get to know you and develop a clear understanding of who you are, what brings you to treatment, and how I can support you. Together we will create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. Let's work together to shed the weight of expectations, pressure, and shame and get you where you want to be.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Together, we’ll work toward building a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and true to who you are. I integrate traditional and evidence-based practices to help you navigate challenges, build resilience, and deepen self-understanding. If you’re ready to take the first step, I invite you to begin this journey towards building a more fulfilling, balanced, and authentic life by scheduling an appointment with me.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I love helping women reach their goals and am here to support and empower them in unburdening themselves of unhelpful and limiting thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My clients often come to me stressed, burnt out, and overwhelmed with all of the "shoulds" in their lives. Things they "should" be doing, goals and milestones they "should" be accomplishing, and disappointment in themselves for not functioning the way they "should" be. These thought patterns often lead to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and overall dissatisfaction in their relationships and daily lives. Clients will leave our sessions not only feeling validated, supported, and empowered to make necessary changes but that they have the tools to do so.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Your thoughts have the power to control your emotions and ultimately your reactions and behavior. During CBT, you will learn to identify thinking patterns in your everyday life that are causing painful emotions or other problems. Then, by developing new thoughts, you will learn to change how you feel.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

“Dialectical” means combining opposite ideas. DBT focuses on helping people accept the reality of their lives and their behaviors, as well as helping them learn to change their lives, including their unhelpful behaviors. DBT is especially effective for people who have difficulty managing and regulating their emotions. Developing skills such as mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance can help people learn healthier ways to cope.
