Joshua Sanchez
Hello and welcome to my page! I am Josh Sanchez, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 6 years in the field of mental and behavioral health. In the past 6 years, I have helped individuals and families find support and resources within the community. I have provided family, group, and individual therapy sessions through my work at The Horsham Clinic and a private practice. I have supported individuals as young as 6 within their mental health journey. Recently, I have created a grief group to provide a safe space where individuals can feel seen, heard and understood. My goal is to provide support, guidance and encouragement to all of my clients. Outside of work, you can catch me seeking out new adventures. I enjoy hiking, traveling, debating sports and especially watching my Philadelphia sports teams. I enjoy learning about and practicing spirituality. I enjoy providing astrology readings as well as tarot card readings.
I believe that experience is the best teacher, no matter how good or bad the experience is, it can be used as a learning experience to heal and grow.

First session
During the first session, you could expect questions on the different goals you would like to accomplish while in therapy. My goal is to create a safe environment where you feel free to share how you feel, work on healing and growing.
Strengths
My approach to therapy is to first always build a safe environment where individuals feel comfortable to be themselves. Building rapport with my clients helps build safety. I utilized CBT, DBT, Attachment Therapy and Trauma-Informed care within my sessions. With that, we will work through the challenges that bring you to therapy, accomplish goals and ultimately begin to heal.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to engage in treatment and work on all parts of themselves. A client who is honest about their experiences as well as one who is able to take accountability when it is needed. A client that is also open to collaborating with me as their clinician to get the most out of their treatment.
Origin story
Mental health has always been a part of my life. My mother was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder and had an Intellectual disability. There were periods of my life where I did not see either my mother or father due to them going through their own struggles. So I feel like I can relate to a lot of people and those experiences of loss have helped me become the therapist I am today. i have always loved psychology and everything seemed to click once I was in the field and in school. I have been a social worker and a counselor for over 4 years and everyday I am learning something new and I love that about the job.
Ongoing work together
Sessions are client centered and client focused, each session will address current needs as well continuing to work on goals that were set in the initial session.
Treatment methods

CBT is used to raise our awareness about how our thoughts impact our feelings and emotions. To identify any core beliefs we have about ourselves, peers or what ever is bring us into therapy. After the thoughts are identified we will work together on thought diffusion and challenging those thoughts.

DBT is all about emotional regulation and being able to to regulate oneself when in distress. First we wil identify the triggers that are stressed and practice DBT exercises to regulate our emotions.
