You’ve taken the first step into your healing journey by simply searching for something or someone to help you deal with what is surfacing within you.
You will not be alone in this journey, the therapeutic rapport is one of the most important relationships one can build, having a safe and nonjudgmental space to express what one is feeling can be a freeing experience. My approach is trauma-informed, meaning I honor your pace, your choices, and your experiences. Together, we will explore your needs and work toward healing in a way that feels safe and empowering for you.
History
MY OWN HEALING JOURNEY
The path that lead me down to where I am today was reached by my own desire to understand emotional pain and unhealthy attachments with love ones that was happening with in me and around me. I began to feel a sense that there was something more to life than repeating the same patterns of unhealthy relationships i saw growing up within my own family. This led me down a healing journey which led me to who I am today.

WHAT MY CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY
Karina Sandoval is absolutely amazing! I have tried counseling at least three other times in my life and did not see many results or breakthroughs, but once I started seeing Miss Karina, I have experienced so much growth! I am experiencing victory in my mind and emotions and it is spilling over as a blessing in my relationships with my husband, children, and friends. Karina is kind, compassionate, qualified, and there is never any judgment! My favorite thing is that she prays for me after each session! I would highly recommend Karina Sandoval as a counselor!

When searching for a Therapist, I wanted to make sure I found someone who was a believer in Faith, who was honest, compassionate , and patient.
In March ‘ 2024, I started my Therapeutic Journey with Karina and I am beyond blessed to have her as my therapist.
From our first session to now 9 months later, Karina has made me feel seen and heard through every session, she has challenged me to break my bad patterns by helping me understand different perspectives. She brings such an Overwhelming feeling of Safety when EMDR is incorporated in our sessions by allowing me to feel at ease with constant validation and reassurance, but most importantly she’s makes me feel empowered!
I look forward to my future sessions with Karina and I thank her for the impact she has made in my life!
