Hi there, I'm Sandra!

Hi, my name is SANDRA GODFREY and I have been a counselor for almost 30 years. I love my job because I am able to work with wonderful people!

My approach

I am a compassionate and empathic counselor and use cognitive behavioral therapy and whatever modality will work well for a client's specific needs. My approach draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Compassion Focused, Couples Therapy, Dialectical (DBT), Eclectic, Family Therapy, Family Systems, Interpersonal, Mindfulness-Based, and Strength-Based modalities.

My focus

I have experience working with individuals, couples, families, teenagers, transgenders, and the LGBTQ population. My specialties include ADHD, Adolescents/Teens, Aging, Anger Management, Anxiety, Behavioral Issues, Bipolar Disorder, Chronic Pain, Coping Skills, Depression, Divorce, Family Conflict, Grief, Infidelity, Job Stress, LGBTQIA+, Life Transitions, Men's Issues, Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD), Oppositional Defiance, Parenting, Relationship Issues, School Issues, Self Esteem, Stress, Transgender Issues, Trauma and PTSD, Women's Issues, Older Adults, and Gender Identity.

My communication style

I believe in open, honest, and empathic communication with my clients. My style is compassionate, non-judgmental, and focused on helping you reach your goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

I received my Masters of Arts degree in counseling and have been practicing for nearly three decades, driven by a passion for helping people live their best lives. My love for the outdoors and fly fishing has taught me the importance of the mind-body connection in overall wellbeing.

My goals for you

It is my goal to help clients reach their 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.

My first session with you

In our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and start to develop 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.
