Hello there,
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with over 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. Throughout my career, I've addressed a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, depression, anxiety, anger management, relationship issues, family conflicts, self-esteem issues, parenting challenges, academic struggles, and substance use.
I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Master of Education in Student Affairs Counseling from Southern Arkansas University.
My counseling style is non-judgmental, genuine, and optimistic. I truly love the work that I do and will do everything I can to be helpful, even if that means connecting you with additional resources or referrals. As I often say: 'If I’m not being helpful, I’m not fulfilling my purpose.' My approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Positive Psychology, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing techniques.
I commend you for taking this step towards a better you. I would love to spend some time understanding your needs and discussing how we can work together.
Sincerely,
Colana Sanders, M.Ed, MS, LPC-S, LCDCI

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Colana Sanders. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Colana has really helped me during the most painful time of my life. She worked with me to deal with my trauma of being laid off and how it overflowed into my relationships. I like how we worked on intentionality and my ability to really challenge my catastrophizing thoughts, she has checked my wellness every week and asked me what I did good and what I can do better. She has given me assignments to help me refocus on getting back on my feet. I wouldn't be able to pull myself out of the pit of emotional/mental chaos if not for her help.
Thank you!
