Specializing in sex therapy, intimacy issues, and trauma recovery, San Juana brings a wealth of expertise to her practice at Family Legacy Therapy P.C.

San Juana's approach is rooted in a deep understanding of human relationships and personal growth. Her clinical specialties encompass a wide range of sensitive issues, including struggles with intimacy, porn and sex addiction, trauma and PTSD, affairs, life transitions, and parenting challenges. This diverse skill set allows her to address the complex interplay between personal history, current circumstances, and future aspirations in her clients' lives.

Educated at the University of Phoenix, where she earned her Master of Science in Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage, Family, and Child Therapy in 2014, San Juana continues to expand her knowledge base. She is currently pursuing a doctoral degree in Couples and Family Therapy at Alliant International University, focusing her research on relationships, attachment, childhood trauma, and the impact of pornography use on intimate relationships.

San Juana's therapeutic approach is informed by several evidence-based modalities. She is trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Brainspotting, and her practice incorporates elements of Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and Transformative Couple Therapy (TCT). This integrative approach allows her to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs, promoting profound transformation that engages all the senses and enhances individual gifts.
