Emma B Sander
Counselor, LMHCA
Verified
Transitions in life are often difficult. Moving to a new apartment, a job change, graduating from college, or just trying to figure out life in the pandemic can cause feelings of inadequacy, feeling out of control, or apathetic . We are often not taught the tools needed to support ourselves during these times. I provide counseling sessions that are comfortable and nonjudgmental, so you can express your concerns as you navigate the complexities of life. My goal is to assist you in laying out the landscape of your thoughts and feelings, and to bring curiosity and compassion to your internal and external world.

Whether you are looking to improve your connection to your body or your relationship with your partner(s), I am here to support your journey. I believe sexual health and pleasure are fundamental to both personal well-being and fulfilling relationships. We will collaborate to help you develop a sexual life that gives you joy, pleasure, a sense of connection, and an authentic identity.
Pain Alternatives Clinic
ND, LMHC
Verified
My counseling clinic name is Pain Alternatives because my early practice was primarily in structural medicine. I became interested in mental wellness after years of seeing the inextricable connectedness of mental and physical pain. In my current practice, I use a time-limited dynamic psychotherapy model, and medication prescription and management wherever clinically appropriate. You can come for medication management alone, for counseling alone, or for a combination of medication prescription and management with counseling sessions.

I work with individuals to better understand their boundaries and how to strengthen their ability to communicate them. My approach to counseling is informed by CBT, ACT, Psychodynamic, and EMDR.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, NBCHH

Life is full of gains and losses. While our gains make us feel good, our losses help us grow.

This change gives us the tools to cope with life, ourselves and others in a more gratifying way.
