Hi, I’m Dr. Luis Sandoval
I’m an experienced bilingual psychologist, researcher and innovator in the area of mental health. My approach to therapy is best described as multidisciplinary. My work specializes in mood disorders and cognitive remediation. I combine several therapeutic modalities with state of the art technology to treat neurocognitive deficits due to medical, psychiatric, and/or learning conditions.
Through constant dialogue, openness, trust, flexibility and humor, we will be exploring your thoughts, emotions, cognitive abilities and behaviors. The ultimate goal of therapy is to help you understand yourself while at the same time challenging you so that you can achieve your personal goals through a unique working model that is tailored to your needs.
