Lisa Sanderson

My communication style

I am very attentive to clients and communicate in a very direct but empathetic style. A session will challenge the client to get outside of their comfort zone.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a therapist after I had a very positive, impactful experience with a therapist. I grew up with a mother who suffered from mental illness and has always been drawn to helping people with mental health issues live a better life.

My goals for you

After the first or second session, I assist the client in identifying their priorities for what they want to accomplish in therapy. It's up to the client what problems to work on and which ones they don't want to work on.

Our first session

During our first session, I ask the client what brought them to therapy and to tell me a little bit about the history and nature of the problem. I try to get to know the clients and let them see if I am a good fit for them. At the end of the session, we discuss if the clients want to work with me and if they want to reschedule.

I identify as...

• Female
