Meet Sabrina Manriquez | Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Sabrina Manriquez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sabrina, can you share a quote or affirmation with us?
One of the most inspirational quotes was said to me by my friend and fellow therapist, Jazmin Llerenas, which is “you deserve to meet the best version of yourself”. This quote always reminds me that regardless of what may have happened in our pasts, there is always potential to create change and growth. Our growth is not only for the benefit of those around us, it is for ourselves so that we can enjoy each day and have inner peace.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
My private practice, “Finding Clarity with Sabrina”, is built on the belief that we are all simply looking for a deeper sense of clarity within life. Clarity in why we are the people we are, whether or not our relationships are meant to last, or clarity around what we ideally want our life to become. This principle was created during a time in which I was seeking clarity myself. I felt torn between multiple personal and professional decisions and found that all I was continually desiring was clarity around what was “the best choice”. In this pursuit, I came to the realization that clarity was best found when I looked inwards and created a deeper sense of knowing and trust within myself.
This is the same spirit I bring into my sessions with clients. My goal for all clients is creating a deeper and more firm sense of self that they can be confident in reaching towards options that are healthier and provide a better sense of fulfillment.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Oh this feels like an impossible question! One of my favorite things about San Diego is that there are so many different types of places to explore! Since we are nearing the spring and the summer, the places my mind immediately goes to are the beach and baseball. So we would spend at least one day at Windansea beach. My favorite thing to do is to bring a picnic at sunset and enjoy the waves and take a late day dip. Another day would be spent at Petco Park watching a Padre’s game and eating a hotdog.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
This shoutout is dedicated to all of my client’s who have and continue to inspire me and teach me throughout my career. Early in my career, I had a mentor who advised me to “learn from my clients”, and this has been truly one of the most unexpected gifts within my career. Every day I am watching my clients try new things, accessing vulnerability, being brave, and working in pursuit for a better version of themselves. I am consistently learning and growing based off the way my clients choose to show up for themselves and their relationships in better ways.
