ABOUT ME
Rene Quispe Sandoval, LCSW
Rene Quispe Sandoval, LCSW
Rene Quispe Sandoval, LCSW
Since 2001, I have been a practicing clinical social worker. I became licensed in 2008. I have provided professional social work services in schools, social service agencies, medical clinics and the community. I have served children, families, individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds, creeds, sexual orientations, genders, both religious or non-religious.
IN EDUCATION
I have worked with school systems in the greater Sacramento Area providing counseling on-site to students from preschoolers to college students. I have been a school social worker at times attending IEP meetings, or SARB hearings and assisting educators with behavior support plans or developing psycho-educational campus-wide curriculum for improved student mental health. I have also presented parenting education classes at back-to-school night functions or been a guest lecturer for school events.
IN THE COMMUNITY
I have met with clients in the past in their homes as part of their CPS family re-unification plans, or as part of my work with the California Victim Compensation Program when a client was too afraid to leave their home. I have attended protests in the community to advocate for basic human rights. I believe the communities we are all a part of also hold valuable social resources for us-and I often provide referrals to social service agencies to help with obtaining food, rental assistance, support groups and client advocacy as part of my therapy. I often provide interviews for the local Spanish TV station on mental health related topics.
IN MY PERSONAL LIFE
I practice what I preach by living my life in the moment. I pray every day for enlightenment and to be a symbol of hope for all my clients. I enjoy exercising, reading, collecting comic books, running with my dogs, and playing board games with my nephews. I value my time with my spouse, and my immediate family. I have three dogs. They are named Maxx, Luna and Coqui. You can see pictures of my "kids" at the top of this page.
