Sandra Hart

My communication style

I have a calm, soft-spoken voice. I use humor. I believe honest, respectful conversations create meaningful relationships. I listen closely with an ear bent towards understanding and connecting. I do my best to keep an open mind, knowing that every person experiences the world differently, the identities they embody, and ancestral knowledge.

My journey to mental healthcare

When I was 13, I struggled with an eating disorder. There were a few people in my life who understood my struggle and knew how to support me. With their love and understanding, I was able to recover. Since that time, I have seen the impact listening can have when someone shares a part of themselves and is met with acceptance and understanding.

My goals for you

Setting goals in therapy is a collaborative process. We work together to create your therapy goals. Goals are designed to build trust in your capacity to make important life decisions. We review goals every few months. Goals are reviewed as needed, whether this is based on your request or because your goals have shifted or changed.

Our first session

The first session is an opportunity for us to learn whether we are a good fit for working together. I will ask you to share your reasons for coming to therapy. You will have a chance to ask me questions about how I practice therapy, my background, training, and experience. Together, we will discuss whether I can offer the support and structure.
