Welcome
My name is Ofelia Sanchez, I am a mental health counselor, and my passion is working with the mind-body connection.
I’m here to walk with you on your search for healing, self-fulfillment, more peace, and freedom. To help you take a deep look and be less uncomfortable with difficulties.
Together we’ll navigate understanding and working through your struggles as we approach fertile ground.
Life is meant to be fully enjoyed. I want you to be able to experience your full range of feelings and learn that even experiencing the difficult ones is bearable, and worth it, since it opens us up for connection and for feeling more pleasure too.
There is much more to life than just getting through the day. Life is meant to be joyful, satisfying, to flow, to be experienced actively; making choices that support you to feel present and alive.
I work with different resources such as Gestalt therapy, Core energetics, mindfulness and meditation we can explore the depths together in a safe embodied experience.
I invite you to experience mental health that
-
Believes you are the expert on yourself; I will support deeper understanding and finding answers that only you know.
-
Attends your thoughts and your body’s inner wisdom.
-
Values learning more about yourself; on both your limitations and finding new means for resourcing yourself.
-
Can be uncomfortable but joyful too!
Working with me looks like this
-
Looking at the here and now.
-
Working with recognizing how you experience things in your body.
-
Exploring new ways of searching for your answers, while taking care of yourself.
-
Finding where your authenticity can be released.
-
Practice defining and respecting your limits.
Gestalt therapy
-
We will explore how your character holds your energy in your body, which could be related to emotional or physical problems.
-
We will take a respectful look together at your avoidances, your pain, your dreams, and your higher intentions. We might do this experientially which means physically using sound and movement to explore and express, as it feels appropriate.
