Sandra Armendariz, Therapist
Sandra Armendariz, LCPC, is an empathic and compassionate therapist who offers each client guidance, support, and knowledge as they discover their inner wisdom and resilience. Sandra earned a graduate degree in clinical mental health from Adler University and a doctorate in clinical psychology from Central University of Ecuador. Fluent in both Spanish and English, Sandra worked around the world as a therapist and graduate level teacher. She helps teens and adults with depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship conflicts, domestic abuse, and more. In therapy, Sandra often uses expressive tools such as drawing, painting, visualizations, role modeling, psycho-drama techniques, narrative techniques, and more.
