LGBT therapists in Waxahachie, TX

My approach with clients is highly relational. I use an attachment-based lens to guide the therapeutic process, though I incorporate various theories and modalities to customize the journey toward healing for each client. My area of focus with adults is family of origin issues, dissociative disorders, complex trauma, and PTSD.

I help clients “update” or transform their own relationship to their need for connection to themselves and others. Each one of us has a unique life story and inherent gifts that shine when we move toward a life lived with connection, purpose, and intentionality.

My name is Dr. Jessica Sanchez and I am a Spanish-speaking Licensed Professional Counselor and Chemical Dependency Counselor. I graduated with my Bachelor of Science from Lamar University in 2004 and became a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor in 2008. In 2024, I graduated with a Doctorate of Psychology from the Walden University.

I am a seasoned clinician who loves to help others grow.

Hi, I'm Emily, I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, perfectionism, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, relationship concerns, and feelings of being overwhelmed or stuck. I also work with couples who are looking to improve communication, rebuild trust after infidelity or betrayal, strengthen emotional connection, or prepare for marriage.

My goal is to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and accepted without judgment. I believe therapy should feel collaborative and personalized, not one-size-fits-all. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or simply feeling disconnected from yourself or others, I'm here to help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have been providing individual therapy for adults for over 10 years.

Whatever issues you're dealing with, you'll be treated with dignity and respect, and I'll work with you to develop a plan to move towards living the kind of life that you want.

Welcome!

My goal is to provide quality services to clients by establishing relationships that encourage growth and mutual respect. I am a licensed clinical social worker who has been providing therapy services for over 5 years. I believe therapy is a tool that you can use to navigate anything, big or small. I believe that therapy is beneficial to everyone and being in therapy allows you to express yourself in a judgment free environment.

I believe that healing happens within a safe, supportive, and authentic therapeutic relationship. My approach is client-centered, collaborative, and culturally responsive, recognizing that each person brings unique experiences, strengths, and challenges into the counseling process. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds, helping clients navigate concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and stress management.

My therapeutic style is warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental while also providing practical tools and strategies to support meaningful growth. I draw from evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and trauma-informed practices, tailoring treatment to meet each client's individual needs and goals.

One of my strengths is creating a space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. I am passionate about helping individuals identify their strengths, develop healthier coping skills, improve relationships, and build resilience. Whether you are facing a difficult life challenge or seeking personal growth, I am committed to walking alongside you as you work toward healing, balance, and lasting change.
