Working alongside Johanna Sanchez in the psychiatric unit has been incredibly inspiring. Recently, we cared for a patient, who was admitted with severe anxiety and depression. One particularly challenging evening, he became highly agitated. Despite the busy unit, Johanna immediately noticed his distress and used calming presence and de-escalation techniques to help him regain control. Johanna then coordinated with the medical team to adjust his treatment plan, ensuring he received the necessary support. 

Her holistic approach was remarkable. She taught him mindfulness techniques to manage his anxiety and stayed past her shift to provide reassurance. She also kept his family updated and arranged video calls to maintain their connection. Witnessing Johanna’s blend of clinical expertise and genuine empathy made a profound impact on his recovery and inspires me to strive for the same level of compassionate care in my own practice.
