Frank Sanchez

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist and Addictions Professional with over 15 years of clinical experience treating adolescents, adults and families. I graduated from Pacifica Graduate Institute with a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I have been working to assist individuals with a variety of difficulties including depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction. I have also been serving individuals who have self identified as gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender.

My approach:

I offer a collaborative goal oriented style of therapy where your goals are identified and provided attention and care. In order to build a trusting relationship, I strive to provide therapy in an open and safe space, free from judgment. Together you and I will work to modify thinking, behavior, and emotional responses. Our work together will support you in living a life consistent with your values and desires.

I work with people using evidence based treatment practices, primarily cognitive behavior therapy, exposure therapy, EMDR, and other models such as motivational interviewing and psychotherapy. I choose the treatment approach that will have the best impact for the symptoms and disorder being treated. The cognitive behavioral approach allows an individual to identify faulty thoughts and beliefs that create problematic responses and feelings. Evidence based treatment is treatment that has been researched and has shown to have good outcomes for specific conditions.
