Hi there, I am Sandra Ventura and I am a professional counselor. I would like you to know that I love the work I do and I'd like to be your helper. I know how hard it is to reach out for help when you are going "through it", because I have been there. I know it is hard to find a professional that will listen to your concerns and not talk about theirs because I have been there too. I want you to know that is not how I operate. I am a straight shooter, I don't waste time, and I do not mislead my clients. I don't have a magic pill or a silver bullet to make all your concerns go away. I do have extensive professional experience working with a broad range of problems and seeing people get better. I treat adjustment disorders, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, and work-related issues to name a few. I use evidence-based techniques and strategies to get you back on top of your game fast. I work with a wide and diverse population and I am familiar with a broad range of cultures and lifestyles. I am fluent in Spanish. I invite you to consider working with me and take me along on your journey to a better you.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
As my client, you can expect my undivided attention to your concerns and not mine. As my client, you can expect to get answers to your questions and tools to help you manage your concerns better. As my client, you can count on complete honesty and feedback from this provider and complete confidentiality.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
As a professional counselor, I use evidence-based techniques including cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, and trauma resolution therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a professional counselor, my biggest strength is building rapport with my clients. I give my clients the utmost respect and I am able to gain the client's confidence in the therapeutic relationship. I am an expert at working with clients who have , or are experiencing trauma, grief, and good old life gone bad. I often utilize active listening, client feedback, and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. I also assign homework and I check it. ATTENTION: There is much demand for mental health support at this time, and your mental health is important to me, no matter who you are. I am asking any of my future clients to schedule your appointments in advance with me, as this will ensure I have availability. A 24-hour advance window does not ensure you will get an appointment with this provider. I know the frustration, of how it feels to want an appointment and not be able to get one until "forever" or 3 weeks down the line. Do not wait until the 11th hour or when you are in the hole and can't find your way out. If you're "going through it", or if you think you're "going through it", NOW is the time to get that appointment, not when the house is burning down. By the way, I do know how to put out fires, just in case. I respectfully ask my clients to answer my messages ASAP, as I like to keep my available appointments filled. I respectfully ask you to complete all required intake information and psychological assessments. Email your information back to me. When I get your information I review it completely. I like to save us both time, so we get right down to the business of helping you be better.
