Challenges you in ways you didn’t know you needed to b be or even knew you could be. I 130% Recommend Dr. Sanchez. He’d be the perfect match for a wide variety of people.

I really appreciate the manner in which he listens and asks the simple yet soulfully profound questions. Offers a safe and sacred space to show up and search out the stories you are telling yourself and examine if these stories are truly in line with the life you want to be living. Grateful for a caring, curious and compassionate accompaniment in this journey we call life.

I am really appreciative of my sessions with Dr. Sanchez. He has helped improve my mental health tremendously. He has a way of providing "tough love" that is not judgmental; I was able to apply his lessons and improve in a positive way. He is a great mirror that allows me to rethink my thoughts/feelings from a different perspective, diminishing my self-limiting beliefs. He has given me "homework" which has benefited my growth. Dr. Sanchez has provided me with invaluable support on my mental health improvement journey.

Written on Mar 13, 2023 after therapy with Elliot for 10 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue
I have a long history of doubt and avoidance of mental health treatment. I spent many years distrusting therapists and never getting any real treatment. Dr. Sanchez was the first to really make me feel that he was looking out for me. I tried to doubt him at first but it's blatantly obvious that he genuinely enjoys helping others and it really shows in his work. I look forward to our sessions because I have never gone a session without learning something valuable. Recommend 10/10.

Dr. Sanchez worked with me during a very uncomfortable time in my life. Work, social life, and more we’re putting me in a great deal of anxiousness daily. In situations unhealthy. But he helped me find a path to work through some of these thought patterns. I’m very grateful to him.

Hmm. What to say here?! Dr. Elliot Sanches is fantastic. I have been in therapy for years. Some of those years have been enjoyable, with great practitioners and other years less so.
Dr. Elliot is a no nonsense type of practitioner. For me, that is very welcomed. Due to my nature of past therapy along with my years in recovery, I have an expansive vocabulary to describe situations, all the while not saying anything of substance. I immensely appreciated his position, his questions and his feedback.
I understand his journey is shifting for a moment and wish him safety and security. I very much look forward to continuing my journey with him up on his return.
