About Me
I am Eliseo Sanchez – a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Michigan. I am married and father to a young child. I enjoy reading, adding things to “things to do around the house” list, woodworking, and trying to catch up on sleep.
I have experience in working with diverse groups going through various life transitions. I have noticed that some transitions may be more challenging than others and can significantly change the landscape of our lives. Parenting is one of life’s greatest transitions and one that can constantly keep you on your toes. Just when you think your parenting approach has stabilized something new occurs and you have to readjust.
My Therapy Background
I have worked co-facilitating sex offender treatment groups at the state and federal level as a provider, led intensive outpatient programs for substance use treatment, and support groups, for adults and teens. I have provided community mental health services with a notable case load of working in foster care with parents, children and foster parents. I have worked in college settings with young adults, and with minors who have relocated to new environments that have been significantly different from their homes culture, language, education, ethnicity, and are currently facing challenges of acculturating to the demands of their new environments.
As a result, I like to focus on identifying and helping stabilize life transitions with clients. Partly, by helping to identify cycles based on clients strengths and helping them incorporate such skills in response to the challenges that they currently face. My goal is to help clients build on their strengths, interest, and motivations while being mindful of areas of growth and stress.

How I Can Help
Reaching out can feel like one of the most challenging tasks. You are facing significant transitions by becoming a father – financial, physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual aspects can all be impacted. Becoming a father may bring up experiences from your own childhood, you may be feeling angry, overstimulated and distant. Memories or experiences that may not have been previously processed or may have gone unnoticed until now may have become intrusive, apparent, or difficult to ignore. With all of these changes it can feel difficult to create space to process, identify, and develop a response plan to both our individual needs and the demands from our environments and relationships. Maybe you are aware of all the challenges you’re up against or maybe you’re left feeling like this experience was not what you expected or planned for. Many times new parents realize coping methods that worked for them in the past are no longer effective or efficient. Fathers can be left feeling like they are in a fog of uncertainty and frustration. Parenting and becoming a parent can be one of these transitions or experiences, however there are other life experiences and transitions that can exhaust our capacities for a variety of reasons and leave us feeling depleted on multiple fronts. I want to encourage you that you are not alone in this matter. Being able to identify the patterns and cycles that we respond to is an important step in our mental health journey. Stress and its challenges is not limited to certain circumstances, life transition, or groups of people.
Creating space to navigate all of these life impacts is one way that I seek to help clients. I draw on areas such as emotional awareness and communication. I strive to create a space that’s welcoming, genuine, and authentic. I utilize an eclectic blend of therapy modalities to fit the needs of my clients. Common modalities I use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR).
PLEASE NOTE: At this time due to other employment involvement and preexisting relationships I am not able to provide services to individuals that have gone through or are actively involved with the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR).
