Lmhc MizrachiSasha Mizrachi is a licensed mental health counselor who served the community for twenty years. Her heart was for family. She wanted to work with foster kids because her burden was to heal the family and to create support for children removed from thir families due to abuse indicators. Her belief was that family breakdown occurs because of generational trauma. But her heart was for children, and her desire was to stop the unhealthy patterns. She started out as a youth care worker. She loved going to the shelter and reading bedtime stories and building relationships. When she became a therapist, she got her first important job in the Department of Children and Families intake.

Her first big accomplishment was the ability to look every child in the eye, smile, and call them by name. The reward was when they became teens and remembered her by name. Read More Read Less
