Welcome! My name is Stephanie Sanders and I am an LPCC and an LMFT and owner of Safe Haven Therapy Services. I'm so glad you're here, especially when you're constantly managing the complexities of trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression and the demands of life and career. Know that you're not alone, and healing can start today. In a safe and supportive space, we can explore the roots of your struggles, develop coping strategies, and work towards a life where you feel more grounded, empowered, and at peace. I'm here to help guide and walk alongside you on your journey towards recovery & wellness.
I offer an integrated approach (CBT, Trauma-Informed, Person-Centered, IFS) to explore your history, challenges, and fears. Healing will happen! I specialize working with anxiety, depression, self esteem, trauma and addiction.
My aim is to create a warm and safe space where you feel truly seen, heard and experience a healthy and trusting relationship. Together, we can explore the challenges you're facing and work towards building a more fulfilling and meaningful life. You don't have to navigate this alone.

I will work with you with your underlying issues that are contributing to your current suffering. During our initial sessions, we will discuss your current needs and what has and has not been helpful for you. We will explore at your pace how and what to share, but I will challenge you to open up. The goal will be for you to begin to feel lighter within the first few sessions. See you soon!

I use a number of interventions and therapy modalities in my practice. Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a specialized intervention if you struggle with understanding your thoughts, feelings and emotions and meeting your own needs.
