Hello and thank you for visiting my profile.
I am a New Jersey Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience. I work with individuals and couples who are dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, stage of life issues, trauma, loss, stress, and eating disorders. I enjoy working with clients experiencing recent issues as well as those who may have longer standing struggles. My counseling style is empathic and nonjudgmental. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is essential to effective work. I strive to create a safe environment in which clients feel free to express their thoughts and feelings, go at their own pace and together develop new insights and ways of leading a fulfilling life. I draw upon various theoretical approaches such as interpersonal, psychodynamic, family systems, experiential, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I'm glad you reached out for help and I hope to meet you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sandy Stein. 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.
Talking to Sandy helps with everything that is on my plate during the week. I have a lot going on in my life, especially with a child on the spectrum. Having Sandy helps.

Sandy is wonderful, very open, non judgmental, and shows interest in my issues. We’ve only had therapy a few times, so I cannot say much more. I am looking forward to working with her.
