Elva Sanchez is an exceptional therapist. She is incredibly attentive to my venting and rants about life problems, thoughts, and feelings. She excels at breaking down my thoughts and emotions at their core while also asking me difficult questions that I had never considered before. This process forces me to think deeply about myself in ways I never have, helping me break down walls and barriers I didn’t know existed. As I do so, I am steadily improving and reaching new heights that I never imagined possible.
