Dr Sanchez is amazing, he’s helped guide me back in the right direction. I’ve come to the realization that a lot of my problems in life are not as bad as I made them out to be.

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 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.

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.

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.
