Hola! I'm Leslie Farias Sanchez, LMFT, an EMDR Certified and IFS Level One trained therapist dedicated to supporting adults who grew up with mentally and emotionally immature and unavailable parents. As a first-generation Mexican American Latina, I grew up in a typical fear-based, avoid-feelings,  throw the chancla, te va llevar ese senor hispanic home, so I get it! Many individuals from such backgrounds struggle with profound challenges like low self-worth, difficulty trusting themselves, and a sense of disconnection from their bodies. Our parents utilized shame and guilt, and we often carry these burdens into our adult lives. I'm here to help you replace that with compassion. My passion lies in guiding individuals on a transformative journey to become the adults their inner children have always yearned for and deserved. Together, we break generational cycles and embrace the journey of self-discovery, celebrating the uniqueness of each individual. I understand that embracing your authenticity can be daunting, but rest assured, I'm here to walk beside you every step of the way. I specialize in helping clients reframe their relationship with discomfort, empowering them to recognize their inherent strength and resilience. You are capable of navigating life's challenges, and I'm here to help you realize that truth. In our sessions, we'll explore your individuality, nurturing a deep sense of self-acceptance and self-love. Remember, you're not obligated to be everyone's cup of tea, and that's perfectly okay. Let's embark on this journey together, uncovering your true essence and fostering a life of fulfillment and authenticity.
