Sandra Godfrey, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Sandra!

I love working with wonderful people who are ready to make positive changes in their lives. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, or life transitions, I'm here to support you with compassion and understanding.

My focus

I work with individuals, couples, families, teenagers, and the LGBTQ population. My specialties include anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, trauma and PTSD, relationship issues, family conflict, grief, infidelity, parenting, self-esteem, stress, coping skills, and gender identity.

My approach

I use cognitive behavioral therapy and tailor my approach to your specific needs. Drawing from client-centered, compassion-focused, dialectical, mindfulness-based, and strength-based modalities, I create a flexible framework that honors your unique journey and helps you build lasting skills.

My communication style

I believe in open, honest, and empathic communication. My style is compassionate, non-judgmental, and focused on helping you reach your goals. You can expect a safe space where you feel heard and supported.

My journey to mental healthcare

My love for the outdoors and fly fishing has taught me the importance of the mind-body connection in overall wellbeing. This perspective shapes how I approach therapy and support clients in finding balance.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you reach your best potential. I want to empower you with the skills and self-awareness to manage life's challenges, improve your relationships, and find greater happiness and fulfillment.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll discuss what brings you to therapy and start developing a plan tailored to your unique needs and goals. I aim to create a warm, welcoming environment where you feel safe to share openly. We'll work together as a team to help you gain new insights and make positive changes.
