Sarahi Saracay Peña
I am a bilingual therapist, and I am fluent in Spanish and English. As a therapist my primary focus is building a relationship with my clients. It’s also important for me to provide safe space for you. I want my clients to feel heard, listen, and valued. As a therapist, I have a very direct and empathic approach.
In therapy I like to incorporate cultural aspects because I believe that it has an impact in our lives and how we view the world.
I believe that clients are experts of their own lives. I am here to provide the tools and support to help you reach your goals. I want clients to feel empowered and feel like they can manage what they are going through. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the state of TX and CO. I graduated with my master's in counseling with a multicultural emphasis at the University of Colorado Denver. I have worked in a variety of setting, equipping me with the tools to support through various life experiences.
First session
Clients can expect our first session to be focused on building a relationship. In this session, I will share about myself and also get to know you. The goal is to build trust and comfort with each other. Sometimes in our first sessions, I also like to incorporate an art activity to get to know you. We will also discuss the things you would like to work on in therapy.
