What they truly want is relief, connection, and tools to help them move toward lasting emotional and relational well-being. Most importantly, they want to learn how to become the best versions of themselves.

Sanadoras Wellness - Seasonal Depression Therapist
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Jefferson City, MO 65102
Seasonal Depression comes lurking with the changes of less daylight & colder temperatures. Do you notice more time being withdrawn & less motivated? With the increase of uncertainty, it's easy to get lost in feeling angry, depressed, anxious or increased distractions of social media scrolling. Some of us learn unhealthy attachment habits & don't realize that sometimes these are generational patterns. Are you the one who saves or "fixes" people & neglect your own needs? Do you worry about past failures & can't see the strengths of who you are because you're so focused on those mistakes? Do you have workplace or job-security anxiety?

It's not easy to speak of unspeakable things. But that seems to be what I have a knack for. To help a client feel safe enough to go there. I help provide a space where what has been longing to be seen and held feels invited and named. I create a setting where the unspeakable can feel safe enough to emerge. I can help the person who knows they can be more of themselves, and just needs some reassurance, encouragement and a gentle witness to what they are going through, and what they have survived. They might be aware of the shame and fear they feel about what they have been carrying, but show up anyway.

You want connection, but something feels off. Maybe you’re stuck in the same argument, walking on eggshells, or feeling more like roommates than partners. Or maybe you’re carrying the weight of a relationship on your own, unsure what to do next. You long for peace, clarity, and a way forward. Whether you’re coming in as a couple or on your own, you want tools to communicate better, feel more understood, and show up with more confidence and care in your relationships—and in your life.

There are vital elements to therapy to comfort us and help us feel we aren't alone or unusual in how we each function. However, I believe it's more important to assist my clients in understanding themselves and the world around them better in order to know how and where change needs to happen in order to function in better ways. I am very specialized in how to function better in relationships, which are so important to all of our lives. Navigating intimate relationships are especially difficult as they reveal the insecurities, anxieties, and weaknesses in everyone and it takes courage and honesty to still truly be known.

I help you heal from the past, accept what is, and live life with intention. Relationship wounds can cause you to lose touch with parts of yourself. You can learn to reconnect with and heal those parts, become the source of your own self-love, self-acceptance, and self-worth. Through radical acceptance of self, others and the world, you can cultivate wisdom and compassion as an internal refuge. I can help you face what is painful and create intention for how you want to be in a world that is not always as you wish it to be. A sense of well-being and peace can be cultivated, even in the midst of chaos, loss and unwanted change.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
