Women Issues

At Sanamora, we love working with women and are passionate about supporting them through the unique challenges they face. We understand that being a woman in the modern world, with the weight of societal conditioning and the overwhelming expectations placed on us by others—and ourselves—can be a lot to navigate. We invite clients to explore where these expectations come from and how they impact their lives.

We also have a deep passion for perinatal mental health, helping women navigate the journey of motherhood, from infertility, conception, and pregnancy to the unexpected challenges of new motherhood, such as postpartum depression, and the grief that comes when things don't go as planned. Whether it's the joy and hardship of this transition or the struggle of feeling unsupported, we are here to guide women through it.

If you are queer and identify as a woman, we welcome you to explore these experiences in a safe and inclusive space. We recognize the unique challenges and intersections of identity that come with being both queer and a woman in today's world.

Kids & Adolescents

At Sanamora, we are dedicated to addressing the unique emotional and developmental needs of adolescent girls and gender-expansive teens. This is a critical time in their lives, filled with challenges around identity, self-esteem, and emotional growth. We provide a safe, supportive space where they can explore these issues, navigate the complexities of growing up, and build resilience. Our goal is to help them develop healthy coping strategies, foster a strong sense of self, and encourage open, honest communication during this transformative period. We are committed to empowering young people as they step into their authentic selves.

LGBTQ

Marginalized populations need to be seen, heard, and valued. When we say that you are the experts in your own lives, we truly mean it. We encourage you to share your stories and identities, affirming that we will accept you wholeheartedly and meet you where you are. We are dedicated to creating a safe, inclusive space where you feel understood and supported. We see you, hear you, and value your unique experiences, believing that each person’s journey is worthy of recognition and respect. In our practice, we strive to empower marginalized voices, fostering an environment where everyone can thrive and embrace their authentic selves.

Intensives

Our therapy intensives offer couples and individuals a unique opportunity for deep, focused immersion, enabling them to tackle challenges more effectively and efficiently. Whether we are working together to strengthen relationships through couples’ intensives or preparing for the transition into parenthood with postpartum planning, this concentrated approach allows for faster breakthroughs, greater insight, and accelerated healing. By dedicating extended time to these important issues, we create a supportive environment where clients can experience significant progress in a shorter period, making therapy intensives a powerful option for those seeking transformative results.
