Asking for help is difficult, sometimes overwhelming. Most people are touched by anxiety, depression, relationship issues and even addiction at some point in their lives, either within themselves or a family member. I create a safe, relaxing and inviting space for you to begin dealing with these difficult, but treatable issues. Many people, particularly men, are socialized to ignore or never discuss their innermost feelings and worries. College students often struggle with questions about whom they are and whom they want to become. Parents often feel powerless to help their children. Together, we can work toward achieving your goals.

Do you ever feel like you're not "good enough"? Or, are you overcome by stress? Is anxiety ruling your life and stopping you from succeeding? If so, has family or friends been able to understand what you are going through or have you felt all alone? Sometimes you need someone more qualified to actively listen to your problems and assist you in overcoming these challenges and transitions. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years of experience compassionately listening to individuals' life stories and empowering each client to reach solutions that work for them.

I view therapy as a collaborative process and an act of self-discovery. I work with clients to help them better understand themselves and to reach thoughtful and creative solutions to problematic issues.

Hello. Thank you for viewing my profile. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a National Certified Counselor. I believe that for counseling to be successful there has to be a good working relationship between the counselor and client. I know that for someone coming into counseling there can be feelings of vulnerability and fear. I provide a compassionate, caring, nonjudgmental, trusting and peaceful environment in which my clients feel safe to be open and honest. I would love to have the opportunity to walk with you on your journey of personal discovery, change, healing and growth.

No new clients currently Originally licensed and in successful private practice in California, I was licensed as an LMFT in Louisiana in 2002, when I moved to NOLA. I have over twenty years of clinical experience working with individual adults, families, and couples. My treatment orientation is based on sound research and includes cognitive-behavioral, experiential, neuroscience, mindfulness, and couples' work. I enjoy helping clients recognize their strengths and develop healthy skills to cope with life's challenges. I am skilled at treating a variety of issues including: anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and anger management.

Are you currently finding it difficult exploring your emotions? Anger? Fear? Shame? Sadness? Sometimes, does it seem that wondering about these emotions causes some anxiety and stress? Do you feel family, friends, and others don't understand? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you likely can benefit from addressing those thoughts through therapy where there is Confidentiality, Support, and No Judgement.

I believe you are capable of changing your thinking which can allow you to feel more positive and confident about living the life you want. In our initial meeting, we discuss short and long term goals, so you can receive customized service to fit your needs. Our first meeting emphasizes confidentiality and expectations and responsibilities for us both in order to provide a safe environment for you to achieve your goals. Happily married over 30 years, I have raised 3 children successful in their lives. I believe these personal experiences provide me with understanding to help others with their tribulations.

I have specialized training in evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy and interpersonal therapy for the treatment of anxiety disorders (including post-traumatic stress, social phobia, generalized anxiety, and other phobias), as well as for depressive disorders and a wide range of other difficulties. I use evidence-based treatment practices, but find the most important factor in therapy is the therapeutic relationship. Without a strong alliance with the client, a therapist is limited in their ability to help the individual effect change.

Reaching out for help is not easy. If you find yourself falling into similar patterns, going through a difficult period in life, or feel overly anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, whatever uncomfortable feeling it might be, and want to get help, therapy is a place to start. Maybe it's to gain insight for yourself, or to understand a relationship. Sometimes communicating thoughts out loud can be difficult, and therapy is a safe place to do it. Whatever the reason that has brought you here to this very page, your search has begun and can continue with a non-biased third party, one of the rarest relationships of all.

Depression, grief, anxiety can all happen for a wide variety of reasons, and there's no telling what might set any individual person down an emotionally unhealthy path. The important thing is to understand that there are a lot of people dealing with these issues and that it's okay to reach out for help. And when you do reach out, Michael Sanders LPC, NCC, will be here to take your hand and guide you. Psychotherapy is a collaboration between Therapist and client. With that in mind, my goal is to provide a comfortable, confidential atmosphere in which to work.

* Exclusively providing online therapy.* You've managed changes in your life before but you feel anxious and overwhelmed. You are worried about your job, relationships, or your health. At times you tell yourself that you do not know how your will manage or worry that life will not get better.

Life is difficult. And for various reasons--pride, fear and procrastination among them--we as humans don't always readily reach out for help. There are many ways to reach out. Some do it through talking to family members or clergy. Some through friends or support groups. And sometimes the problems we are dealing with go away by themselves. But not usually.

Clients struggling with mood disorders (anxiety, depression, bipolar) can find help with therapy to confront and understand their issues. Accurate diagnosis and an effective treatment planning can bring hope to your stress with ADHD and adjustment disorders. Trauma is often at the root of many problems. Individuals and families can work together in their community to find peace and satisfaction in their relationships, education and work.

I believe in short term, solution oriented therapy. Extra help and support is often needed to successfully navigate the challenges life may bring you. I work with individuals, couples and families who are wanting to learn new techniques to cope with a difficult situation or perhaps techniques to deal with anxiety and negative thoughts. For payment I take all credit cards, Zelle and Venmo.

Are you feeling powerless, a victim and at the mercy of life? Oftentimes these feelings are symptoms of your difficulty in making decisions, experiencing anger, frustration, anxiety/depression and worry. Do you feel overloaded/overwhelmed by problems? Are you experiencing sleep problems, constant tiredness, frequent use of over the counter drugs, and pain? Do you have attention problems/disorganization and confusion? My 30-plus years of professional experience has taught me that we all have something in common. Whether you're a butcher, a baker or candle stick maker you are a human being who wants to experience "peace of mind".
