Heidy Sanchez, LMSW, brings a decade of experience in the mental health field to the SMPsychotherapy team. Heidy received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in social work from Fordham University. She brings rich experience working in community mental health programs as well as providing individual, group, and family therapy to the SMPsychotherapy team.

Heidy is excited to begin work in private practice. She hopes to leverage her education and clinical experience to treat clients working through trauma, substance use disorder, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, life transitions, ADHD, parenting challenges, and immigration difficulties. She knows that sometimes mental health struggles keep us from building the life we want to live, and working with a therapist you trust can ensure your success.

Heidy approaches therapy as a partnership between client and counselor because relationship building is where healing begins. She uses motivational Interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness/acceptance and parent management to move you toward the life you want. Heidy sees her role as a provider of an empathetic space for you to share your story, learn new strategies and coping skills, and move toward your goals. With trust and mutual respect, Heidy will be a vital partner in your path to wellness.

Heidy provides services in English and Spanish.

Heidy is now accepting new clients in Connecticut!
