ABOUT US
I’m Laura Sanchez, a licensed Therapist/Social Worker based in the Omaha Metro Area - here to guide you through life’s most complex and difficult matters. Since 2008, I have worked with families, teens, and children dealing with challenging life experiences. My work has included therapy, case management, and a systems approach. I was born in Guadalajara, Mx and raised in various places in the US. I call Omaha my main home as I have lived here for over 20 years. I am married and have two children. We love to spend time as a family and enjoy experiencing new cultures.
ALL ABOUT THERAPY
According to the American Psychological Association, “Psychologists help people of all ages live happier, healthier and more productive lives.” Through the use of various psychotherapy methods and collaborative treatment measures, my patients develop life-changing habits to help them cope with any of life’s various obstacles. My therapy sessions are designed to dissect personal issues and provide patients with effective tools to help them see the glass half full instead of half empty.
Deciding to take a leap of faith and starting therapy is simultaneously the scariest and most courageous thing you can do. Have faith in yourself and your inner ability to heal and become the best version of yourself you can be. Let's start a conversation - contact me today.

PTSD 101: STRESS, TRAUMA AND RECOVERY
You have probably heard of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), but may not know much about it. PTSD affects not only returning war veterans traumatized by military service, but many people who are exposed to terrorism, violence and natural disasters, shattering their sense of trust and safety.
After a traumatic event, everyone experiences some stress symptoms. These are normal reactions to abnormal events.
