Welcome to Brighter Life Therapy Group! My name is Stephanie Sanchez and I am the Owner and Founder of the practice. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years experience in the field. I earned my Bachelors of Arts Degree in Psychology from Elmhurst College in 2012. I then went onto pursue my Masters in Social Work from Aurora University which I earned in 2015. 

​

Professionally, I have extensive experience working with children and adults. My vast experience has shaped my ability to be versatile and knowledgeable in the field. I am trained in several treatment modalities such as: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Play Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I am certified in EMDR through EMDRIA (EMDR International Association).

​

​In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, and love playing and exploring new adventures with my son. 

 

​My philosophy is always to meet my clients where they are in their journey with no judgment and full unconditional support. I welcome you with open arms to Brighter Life Therapy Group and look forward to helping you or your loved ones find success!
