Dr. Maria Sanchez helps adults across Illinois find greater clarity, balance, and well-being through compassionate and collaborative mental health care in English and Spanish. She provides individual and group therapy, and couples therapy for clients seeking support with issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Dr. Sanchez’s therapeutic approaches are rooted in evidence-based practices, including Relational-Cultural Therapy (RCT), Interpersonal Processing Therapy (IPT), and Liberation Therapy.

She is especially passionate about working with members of historically marginalized and disenfranchised communities, including LGBTQIA+ individuals, BIPOC, immigrants, and first-generation individuals. Dr. Sanchez also conducts psychological and neuropsychological testing to assist in diagnosis and treatment planning, particularly for clients managing ADHD, learning differences, or complex mental health presentations.

Outside of her role at LifeStance Health, she finds joy in cooking, reading, exploring various creative expressions, and spending time with family, friends, and her cherished pets.

Maria Sanchez provides services with supervision.
