It can be difficult at times to ask for help. I'm glad you have taken the first step. I am a therapist with many years experience supporting a diverse population of clients. Most recently I have been working with midlife and seniors experiencing declines in health. Before this I was a children's therapist focusing on children with disabilities, and those who have experienced trauma. I also enjoy working with individuals who have struggled with addiction as their strength is inspiring. I am a former foster/adoptive parent and enjoy supporting all members of the adoption triad. Teens and young adults are also a focus.

I have worked with varied populations throughout Louisiana and Oregon; most often with male & female adults, couples, adolescents, and children ages 7-11. I have addressed multiple varied needs including sexual dysfunction, gang activity, drug use, domestic violence, PTSD, personality, mood disorders as well as relationship issues. **Education: I have a bachelor's degree (4 years) in Psychology (Oregon State University, Corvallis). I also have (one year) education (Holy Cross College, New Orleans, Louisiana) in Marriage and Family Therapy. I acquired a master's degree in Social Work (3 year master's program) from Portland State University in Portland, Oregon.

Hello and Welcome! I am Lorinda Sanders and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Idaho and Oregon. I've been in practice 23 years. I graduated from Walla Walla University with a Master in Social Work in 2000. My experience includes working with individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, career challenges, LGBTQ, relational conflict, grief and loss, and adjustment/transitional challenges. I use a number of therapeutic techniques including Motivational Interviewing, CBT, ACT, Trauma Informed Care, Mindfulness and strengths based techniques. My goal is to help you become a better version of yourself.

I look to hold an affirmative space as I work with individuals, honoring each persons complex and diverse backgrounds, identities, and histories. I aim to foster spaces where everyone feels valued, supported and inspired to achieve their vision for life. I recognize that each individual identifies in their own unique way and I look forward to meeting you where you are. I hold an integrative approach to therapy which blends Mindfulness practices, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused modalities. I approach therapy from a social justice framework, anti-oppression, multi-cultural and strengths-based approach.

Trauma is a highly complex and personal experience. Everyone's experience and definition of trauma is different. Among both professionals and clients, it is often incredibly misunderstood. It affects us across physical, social, emotional, and spiritual bounds. It compromises our ability to process sensory input and renders us incapable of communicating at times. Traumatic experiences can make us feel "small" and incompetent, incapable of managing basic tasks at times, or we may even develop intermittent or chronic pain.

Are you ready to find the keys which will unlock the doors to your better life? Whether you are depressed, anxious or trying to make sense of difficult and traumatic past events, we will work together to find solutions in a safe, welcoming environment.

I am autistic, and a neurodiversity-affirming professional. This means I do not seek to change others, but focus on strength and adaptation, not assimilation. We can dig into life's fundamental questions: Who am I, what do I want, why am I here, and who should journey with me? I am not a therapist, but instead, I specialize in consulting and coaching those who want to develop healthier relationships with themselves and others. Our work together might focus on recovering from past mistakes, understanding how we came to those mistakes, and learning to make different choices and decisions in the future. It might be learning to say no.

The only way we know what happens in the world is through our senses. It's how we make sense of the world; it's how we can interact with the world. I use hypnosis to adjust this perception, to fine tune my clients' reality user-interface to allow them to experience a sense of comfort, confidence and especially control in improving their lives and getting them the things they both want and need. When we feel in control we can accomplish anything.

Accepting New Clients. Are you suppressing feelings of anxiety or depression, and hoping it will go away? Maybe your relationships or career are starting to suffer, or you are simply tired of feeling your life is out of control. If you are ready to receive support, I can help. I specialize in working with people who are looking for relief from feelings of anxiety and depression and healing relationships with family and friends. By working together, I can help you develop coping skills and strategies to feel more hope and peace about your future and to set healthy boundaries with the people you care about the most.

You're smart, but you've always wondered why you feel awkward and different. Why is it so hard to talk to people, or navigate office politics, or cope with stress? You've heard about adults diagnosed with ASD later in life, and it sounds familiar. Adult Autism Assessment & Services is a neurodiversity-affirming practice specializing in autism assessment for adults, especially women, trans, and nonbinary folk. We also provide ADHD and sensory processing assessment. Many of our clinicians are neurodivergent themselves, so we understand. After a lifetime of "pretending to be normal" t's OK to finally unmask and be your true self.

Every failure we experience we feel as indicative of our future when in fact, everything we attempt, every time, has the potential for failure or success.

There are periods in life when it is difficult to see a way forward. If you are here, my guess is that you're struggling--you may be grieving a loss or struggling to accept difficult life changes. Or maybe you've been feeling stressed out and lost for a long time and aren't sure where to turn. Whatever the circumstances, it is my deep desire to see you rediscover happiness and purpose-- I wholeheartedly believe that counseling can help you get there. In the midst of darkness and chaos, it can be hard to see the road ahead. In therapy, I will journey beside you as you find your path and support you in building the courage to walk it.
