For Real Therapy

Absolutely love this organization. We love co-hosting events with them from topics such as grief during Day of the Dead, growing up in an immigrant household, and Men Deserve Flowers, a men's mental health discussion.

I have always had a lovely and warm experience working with the folks at For Real Therapy. The clinicians and the staff are welcoming and transparent. The space is welcoming as well. It is designed with comfort and healing in mind. For Real Therapy uses this space for community events that are connective and fun. I have loved going to Film Reel Therapy that happens once a month, an album listening party, or any of the other ever evolving programming that is offered. For Real Therapy is working to be responsive to the needs of the community and I appreciate what is being built here. I have also had a chance to work with them professional through renting the space. This experience was easy and added to the growth of a project. Check them out - Collaboration as a client or a professional is gonna be a good choice. Thanks for the work y'all are doing!

I’m posting this in the hope that someone reading it will feel a little more at ease when deciding whether to book an appointment here. I take my 5-year-old daughter to see Tanika Homes for therapy, and I can’t fully express how grateful I am for the care, kindness, and professionalism we’ve experienced. From the moment you walk in, the beautifully designed space reflects the genuine thought and compassion they have for their clients. Our experience has been nothing but positive, and I’m truly thankful for the support my daughter has received. If you’re feeling uncertain about reaching out for yourself or your child, I hope this review gives you a little reassurance and confidence to make that call. It was one of the best decisions we’ve made.

I’ve been working with Fabrice for about 7 months and I can’t begin to tell you how healing this experience has been 🥹 He’s been able to relate, empathize with and help me communicate through challenges ranging from unemployment and mommy issues to miscommunication with my partner and friend breakups He’s been a safe space to cry while also providing lightness and humor as we navigate difficult topics together I feel so much more happy and empowered to live the life I want to live and be the person I’d like to be going into 2026 thanks to our work together

For Real Therapy has been a revelation for me. Before FRT, my therapists were pretty straightforward, and that’s all i really thought was possible - you sit and talk and that’s as far as it goes. When i started seeing Fabrice, many years ago now, a new world opened up; our sessions would weave in culture, hip hop, resistance, mass media, art, poetry, humor, philosophy, and more in a mystical tapestry, creating fresh and vibrant space to explore the context for my feelings and beliefs and get creative about how to really see myself and others. Fabrice helped me form a stronger bond with my wife, transition to fatherhood, and persevere through dark times. I know i am never stuck because Fabrice always helps me take new angles, find laughter, and get a bit more funky with it. I just wish more people could have this experience.

This is long overdue but needed to share my experience with my lovely therapist. I started seeing Christie during one of the hardest times of my life — my divorce — and I honestly don’t know how I would have made it through without her. She held space for every messy, painful, confusing emotion I brought into the room and never made me feel judged or rushed. What stood out most was her ability to balance compassion with clarity. She helped me rediscover my strength, set boundaries, and process both the loss and the growth that came with this huge life change. Because of her, I’ve learned how to trust myself again and move forward with more peace than I thought possible. If you’re going through a major transition or heartbreak, I couldn’t recommend her more highly. She truly changed my life.

I am eternally grateful to For Real Therapy, especially Christie Sanchez, for the period of time they were a part of my life. When we first started, I knew that this was going to be different than any other experience I’ve ever had with a therapist… in the best ways possible. Christie made me feel heard and seen and had those tough love moments I’ve always wanted and ASKED for from my prior therapists. I learned a lot about myself and how to challenge parts I thought I knew.. Although I am not currently insured, I am still able to manage and navigate the hardships of life due to the tools I was given and learned from Christie. You changed my life and helped me be kinder to myself. I’ll forever cherish the time we worked together. Thank You.

I had the pleasure of working with multiple therapists at FRT over the last couple of years and am so grateful for the time and attention I received. The practice is thoughtful, considerate, and warm with, a cultural competency that made me feel seen and heard in a very natural way. Christie was a phenomenal personal therapist, empathizing, challenging, and encouraging my growth every step of the way. I would highly recommend this practice to everyone, and especially to people of color looking for a safe space for personal care.

For Real Therapy is incredible. They were so responsive and accommodating to our needs. We were paired with a phenomenal therapist who truly changed our lives and communication styles. I am forever grateful for therapy that is accessible and affordable.

Just finished my closing session with Christie and cannot recommend FRT or her services enough. Attentive, warm and active, Christie was fantastic. She was my lighthouse in an absolute storm of a year, my gratitude knows no bounds.
