About Michelle Sánchez, MA, LCPC

Therapy offered is for individuals, 18+ in the state of Illinois, virtual and in person. I do not accept Medicare, Medicaid, or HMO plans at this time. In-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO, Blue Choice PPO, Cigna/Evernorth PPO, and Aetna PPO plans. For all other PPO insurances, my site will provide a complete billing service as an out-of-network provider. This means that, while you will pay for the visits at the time of service, we will submit the claims on your behalf so that you are reimbursed by insurance ASAP– no submitting your own superbills!

 I value authenticity, collaboration, and mutual respect in the therapeutic process. I do not believe in hierarchies within the therapy room—you don’t need to censor yourself or worry about taking care of me emotionally. This space is for you. My role is to walk beside you as you gain clarity, build on your strengths, and uncover new possibilities for growth and healing. I aim to support clients in standing fully in their truth, and in reclaiming their voice and agency.

I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, boundary issues, and life transitions. I have experience working with first- and second-generation clients, LGBTQIA+ communities, kink, polyamory/ENM, and take a HAES-informed approach. My work is identity-affirming and culturally responsive.

I strive to create a space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported just as they are. I approach this work from a multicultural/anti-oppressive lens, honoring ways identity, culture, and lived experience shape a person’s story. I take an integrative approach—drawing from Person-Centered, Strength-Based, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy

La terapia ofrecida es individual, para adultos mayores de 18 años, en el estado de Illinois, virtual o en persona. No acepto Medicare, Medicaid, o planes de HMO en este momento. Estoy dentro de la red de provedores con Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO, Blue Choice PPO, Cigna/Evernorth PPO y Aetna PPO. Para todos los otros seguros PPO, mi consultorio proporcionará un servicio completo de facturación como un proveedor fuera de la red. Esto significa que, mientras que usted pagará por las visitas en el momento del servicio, nosotros presentaremos las reclamaciones en su nombre para que usted sea reembolsado por el seguro lo antes posible – ¡sin tener que presentar sus propias superfacturas!

 

Creo en la fuerza transformadora de la autenticidad, la colaboración y el respeto mutuo. En este espacio no existen jerarquías: no necesitas cuidarme emocionalmente ni medir tus palabras. Aquí puedes llegar tal como eres. Este es tu tiempo y tu lugar para explorar, sanar y crecer. Yo estaré a tu lado, acompañando cada paso mientras encuentras claridad, te reconectas con tus fortalezas y descubres nuevos caminos hacia el bienestar. Mi intención es apoyarte para que vivas plenamente tu verdad y recuperes tu voz y tu poder personal.

Acompaño a personas que transitan por la ansiedad, la depresión, el trauma, los conflictos familiares, las dificultades para poner límites y los cambios importantes en la vida. También trabajo con quienes forman parte de comunidades LGBTQIA+, kink, poliamor/ENM, así como con personas de primera y segunda generación. Mi enfoque está guiado por los principios de HAES (“Health at Every Size”), con una mirada que afirma tu identidad y honra tu historia.

Mi compromiso es ofrecerte un espacio donde te sientas visto/a/e, escuchado/a/e y sostenido/a/e, sin condiciones. Trabajo desde una perspectiva multicultural y anti-opresiva, reconociendo que tu identidad, cultura y vivencias moldean quién eres y cómo te relacionas con el mundo. Utilizo un enfoque integrativo que reúne lo mejor de la terapia centrada en la persona, el trabajo basado en fortalezas y la terapia cognitiva basada en la atención plena (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy), para que puedas avanzar a tu propio ritmo, con el cuidado y la presencia que mereces.
