Zoe Sanchez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker / Relationship Related Grief / Women’s Mental Health / Neurodivergence / Low Self-esteem/ Solution Focused Therapy
Zoe understands that life can feel incredibly fast-paced, and trying to keep up while managing daily stress, low self-esteem, or a brain that processes the world differently can leave you feeling overwhelmed. She supports women who are exhausted by the pressure to "hold it all together," as well as neurodivergent adults who are tired of masking just to fit in. If this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
Zoe partners with women and neurodivergent adults to navigate life's challenges, quiet the inner critic, and build genuine self-worth. She also specializes in supporting clients through relationship-related grief—whether you're navigating a painful breakup, the end of a friendship, or the complex emotions of untangling your life from someone who was once deeply important. Her therapeutic approach is collaborative, neuro-affirming, and practical. Together, you'll do more than simply sit with the pain—you'll work toward meaningful, solution-focused goals tailored to the way your unique brain processes stress, loss, and change, helping you create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.
Zoe holds a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Denver, with a concentration in Health and Wellness. Her work draws from the interplay between social systems and individual wellbeing, focusing on preventative, holistic, and strengths-based care. Prior to pursuing her social work degree, Zoe worked as a paraprofessional and behavioral therapist for youth on the Autism Spectrum, as well as other experiences that all led to her passion for supporting others navigating life’s peaks and valleys.
Zoe is skilled in and holds special certifications in the following areas:
Trauma Informed
Zoe provides trauma-informed care utilizing several therapeutic approaches to meet each client’s unique needs while prioritizing emotional safety and resilience.
CBT therapy
Zoe is also a CBT trained therapist. CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) teaches you practical skills to understand and change the patterns that keep you stuck—especially the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. She will teach you how to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, how to challenge and reframe thoughts, how to regulate emotions and how to change behaviors that maintain symptoms. CBT is a structured and goal-focused modality, with practice between sessions so you see changes in real life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is a skills-based therapy that helps you manage intense emotions and build steadier relationships and routines. It’s especially useful when emotions feel “too big,” reactions feel hard to control, or life feels like a roller coaster. Zoe helps patients who feel overwhelmed by big emotions, stuck in painful patterns, or unsure how to cope when life gets heavy. She will help you build practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, mood swings, and impulsive reactions—so you can respond to stress without shutting down, exploding, or turning on yourself.
Motivational Interviewing
Zoe uses a therapeutic tool called Motivational Interviewing (MI). MI helps you explore what you truly want to change—without judgment or pressure. Zoe asks thoughtful questions, and reflects back what she's hearing, to help you sort through mixed feelings so you can feel clearer and more confident in your next steps. Together, you will identify your values, strengths, and personal reasons for change, then turn that insight into realistic goals and a plan that fits your life. Zoes' role is to support your autonomy and help you build momentum in a way that feels encouraging, empowering, and sustainable.
Beyond her work, Zoe values spending time with her husband, friends, family, and dog. She feels recharged and empowered by being physically active, spending time in nature, and hosting game nights. Zoe’s community describes her as genuine, open-minded, funny, athletic, supportive, and loyal.
