Understand Your Roots Unleash Your Potential
You have worked hard all of your life, and you expected to feel fulfilled, stress-free, at peace, and happy. However, you find yourself often feeling out-of-place, exhausted, silenced and/or experiencing self-doubt.
You're seeking support because you are ready to move beyond feeling “Ni de aquí, ni de allá.” You are ready to transform these feelings into a journey of self-discovery and connection. You want to shed the weight of guilt and loneliness, improve your relationships, learn to set boundaries, and increase your confidence. Overall, you seek to stop feeling out-of-place and feel more connected to yourself and your community.
If this resonates with you, we may be a good match!
I am Dr. Lisette Sanchez, PhD
(CA PSY #31540).
I am the eldest daughter of hard working-class immigrant parents from Mexico and El Salvador. I am familiar with the experience of bridging multiple cultures. At times, this involved being an English translator for my family and experiencing confusion. Other times, it involved embracing being a trailblazer and feeling empowered. Today, these lessons have uniquely enhanced my clinical skillset and expertise.
I help first-generation Latine professionals embrace their bicultural identity to elevate their confidence, deepen their connections, and amplify their individual and professional fulfillment. My approach is rooted in a deep understanding of how our cultura impacts mental health.
