“Beth has provided our early Headstart Program with profound insights on attachment and trauma and other infant mental health issues. The perspective she brings to the program supports staff as they reflect on their work with infants, toddlers and their families.”

Dr. Ann Johnson, Former Early Head Start Director, Community Action, Inc., San Marcos, TX

“Angel Reach has been helped so much by the services of Child-in-Family’s Beth Powell Sanchez, LCSW. The challenges of helping our foster/adopt children who present with trauma-related issues and neuro-developmental problems such as Bipolar Disorder and fetal alcohol and drug effects can be at times overwhelming to our foster/adopt parents. Beth has the therapies to heal our children’s lives and make our families stronger. Her expertise as well as her caring and compassion is what drew our organization to her. She is a blessing to our families and to our organization.”

“Beth Powell Sanchez, LCSW, has dedicated much time and effort to instruct the staff of our orphanage in better behavior management techniques and in neuro-behavioral exercises to specifically help certain children with developmental trauma. Her evaluation methods and therapies with the children were fun and interactive. She was able to train our staff to do practical, effective treatments with children of all backgrounds and needs. She was always an encouragement to our work here in Saltillo, Mexico. And the fact that she speaks Spanish is absolutely priceless!”

Rebecca Edwards Rays of Hope Children’s Home, Saltillo, Mexico
