Welcome to You Evolve Therapy. My name is Jessica Sanchez. I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of California and I have been in the mental health field for 13+ years.  I identify as 1.5 Generation Latina as I was born in Nicaragua and moved to the United States during my infancy. I was raised in a bicultural environment where I was expected to assimilate the American culture as well as maintain the cultural expectations held for me by my family of origin. Mental health was not a significant part of my upbringing due to the stigma that mental health issues meant that one was considered “loco” or mentally weak. I understand first-hand what it is like to carry generational trauma and the need to overcome it. I believe that therapy is a collaboration between clinician and client. The client is the driver whereas I act as the guide. Initial sessions include a full assessment where we go through your background and together we will create a treatment plan tailored to achieving your therapeutic goals. I specialize in anxiety disorders, depression, burnout, and trauma. Contact me today for your free 20 min consultation. I look forward to working with you!
