Thalia Sanchez
Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of New Jersey and founder of North Star Psychotherapy LLC
Hi there!
Taking the first step toward therapy is a courageous and meaningful decision and I am honored to walk alongside you.
I am a bilingual (Spanish) therapist specializing in working with children, teens, their families and young adults. My greatest passion is working with children, teens and young adults, providing an authentic connection and supporting them through adversity and life changes.
I hold both a Master’s Degree and Doctorate Degree (PsyD) in Counseling Psychology, which have provided me with a strong foundation in understanding human behavior, emotional well-being, and effective therapeutic interventions. I have worked in an array of settings including community agencies, psychological diagnostic centers, brain trauma rehabilitation facilities, mobile crisis services for at-risk youth and child welfare institutions. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), mood dysregulation, adjustment related challenges, self-esteem and trauma.
I use an eclectic approach to treatment that includes but not limited to evidenced-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) strategies and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Everyone is on a different journey and I will meet you where you are. My approach to therapy is open, patient, warm, flexible, non-judgmental and most importantly focused on the therapeutic relationship. Depending on the need, therapy will work towards creating, setting and reaching mental health goals. It’s not a race, we will get there!
