My name is Alejandro Sandoval, or Alex, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing privately in Pasadena California.

What I witnessed wasn’t weakness- it was courage.

And that’s what happens when people feel safe enough to be seen.

We hope to see you at our next event!

Just joined my first IFS & Liberation consultation group this morning- and I’m still sitting with it.

As therapists, the work doesn’t stop when we get licensed.
If anything, it deepens.

Spaces like this challenge me to look beyond the individual story and hold space for the cultural, generational, and systemic layers that shape how we show up in the world.

Because healing isn’t just about “fixing” ourselves…
It’s about understanding all the parts of us- and the environments that shaped them.
And truthfully…
I can’t take my clients somewhere I’m not willing to go myself.

Especially the men I work with—who are often navigating years of silence, pressure, and unspoken pain.

This is the work. And I’m committed to it.

Most men think therapy starts when you start talking.

It starts the moment you decide to walk in.

I always tell my clients, the hardest job isn't mine, tt's yours sitting on that couch having the courage to be vulnerable.

Have you sat on a therapy couch?

Last night we slowed down and shared a meal, not to talk cases or schedules, but to say thank you.

and l, I see how much you care about your clients and how seriously you take this work.

That matters.

Really grateful for this team and the energy we’re building together.

I didn’t just watch the halftime show; I felt it.

Seeing Bad Bunny on that stage stirred something deeper than excitement. It was pride, yes. But also memory. History. The weight and beauty of a culture that’s often asked to shrink, soften, or explain itself.

For many Latino men, representation isn’t abstract. It lands in the body. It sits alongside grief, resilience, and generations of being told to stay quiet or grateful for crumbs.

Sunday night felt different.
Like we took up space and didn’t apologize.

Moments like this matter more than people realize.

Take up space!

I didn’t just watch the halftime show, I felt it.

Seeing a Latino artist take up that much space, unapologetically, stirred something deep in me.

Representation isn’t just about being seen.
It’s about what our bodies register after years of being told to stay small, quiet, or grateful for crumbs.

Moments like this matter more than people realize.
Especially for Latino men, where pride and pain often live side by side.

Día de los Mu***os is a time we celebrate, honor, and remember those who are no longer with us. For some, this season brings forward recent loss — and for others, it reopens or reconnects us to grief we’ve carried for years.

El Día de Mu***os helps us process grief by inviting us to talk about our loved ones, share their stories, and keep their memory alive within our families and communities. The ofrendas — the altars — are not just displays. They are narratives. They’re a way to continue the relationship, to make meaning, and to heal.

Full transparency — I did not grow up practicing Día de Mu***os. It wasn’t until I got older that I connected spiritually with this tradition. And this year, my grief feels more present than usual — and I find myself more drawn to the healing practices of my ancestors. It feels deeply meaningful to intentionally connect with my past and spend time with those I’ve lost.

Tell the story of your people. Speak their name. Your grief is allowed.

🎃 Happy Halloween from Sandoval Therapy!

Today’s reminder: The scariest masks aren’t the ones we wear for Halloween — they’re the ones we wear to hide how we really feel.
Take a breath, check in with yourself, and let authenticity be your superpower today. 🕸️
