Introduction

Hello, I'm Sandra Carlson, a passionate and empathetic Bilingual (English and Spanish) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I deeply value the strength of human connection and personal growth in the therapeutic process. While I hold the title of LMFT, I want my clients to know that I am just another human understanding the struggles and triumphs that life brings. My journey as a therapist began 7 years ago when I started working at an inpatient drug and alcohol facility. This experience opened my eyes to the transformative power of therapy in helping individuals overcome addiction and navigate their paths to recovery. Following this, I worked with families facing various challenges, advocating for their well-being and helping them find strength in difficult times. Currently, I run my private practice, Mindfully Balanced where I offer a safe and supportive environment for individuals, couples, and families to explore their feelings, thoughts, and experiences. My approach to therapy is collaborative, tailored to the unique needs and goals of each client. I specialize in various areas, including trauma, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, life transitions, relationship issues, and personal growth. My goal is to provide guidance and effective tools to assist my clients in processing their emotions, fostering resilience, and overcoming unexpected obstacles. I believe that every person has the capacity for positive change and growth, and my role as a therapist is to walk alongside my clients, empowering them to discover their inner strengths and find solutions that work best for their lives. If you're seeking support on your journey of healing. I am here to offer my understanding, expertise, and unwavering support. Together, we can work towards building a more fulfilling and balanced life.
