Mental Wellness Specialties: Stress, AnxietyAddictionsRelationship issuesFamily conflictsDepression
36 years offering treatment
My name is Mary 'Beth' Fisher Sanders and I go by 'Beth Sanders'. I have practiced for over 30 years and am a licensed clinical social worker with certifications that reflect extensive background in addictions and other mental health issues. I have also worked for most of my career with a focus on families and couples. My approach is relational. There are as many approaches to therapy as there are therapists - if we align to work together my role is to empower you to reach your goals, to help you identify the assets and barriers to doing so, and perhaps teach some healthy coping and communication strategies as well. I consider the journey to self awareness and understanding a sacred journey, and one that is vital for desired change. Time is a precious commodity, and I will challenge you to maximize yours to achieve desired results. Additionally, it is a process that I myself continue to do, so be assured that there is nothing that I will ask you to do that I have not done myself. While I do not claim to be a religiously based therapist, please know that there is a spiritual foundation in my approach and I will meet you whereever you are in your spirituality, whatever that means to you. I consider it a great honor to know the deepest parts of those that I walk and work with, and will help you lift up and strengthen the best parts of you.

Hey wonderful being. Welcome to taking the first steps toward carving out the life you desire. You might be curious about my 12-year journey in this work, but let's face it – what you really want to know is whether I can rock your world or not. Well, let me tell you all the ways I can enrich your life My specialty is relationship wellness and everything that comes with being in a relationship to make it work. This could vary from communicating the hard stuff, redesigning sexual intimacy, opening the relationship to new partners, getting your needs met, learning to be more yourself, rebuilding trust, and so much more. I support a variety of relationship dynamics, whether you're into classic monogamy, the wild world of polyamory, the daring realms of kink and BDSM, or even the captivating universe of swinging. Furthermore, you don't have to be in a relationship to see me, you can be single, dating, or just dealing with overwhelm, overthinking, over-giving, over-performing, people pleasing, codependency, or perfectionist thoughts and behaviors with lovers, family, and friends. No matter what you are going through, my mission is to equip you with the keys to break free from the jail of your own mind. My approach may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but why don't we dance together and see if we find a vibe? Here's the fun part – my toolbox is packed with a smorgasbord of transformative goodies: --Hypnosis (reprogramming your subconscious) --Visualization (painting your dreams) --Guided Meditation (inner exploration) --Somatic/Body Work (connecting with the physical you) --Parts therapy (exploring your inner family) --Inner Child work (explore inner true you) --Breathwork (unleashing your breath's magic) --Narrative Trauma Work (rewriting your story) --Psychoeducation and Mindset Shifting (transforming your mental landscape) --Tapping/EFT (channeling your energy) --Conscious communication (unlocking the power of effective dialogue) Lastly, my schedule is late afternoon to late evening. If this is something work for your schedule, let's connect on this journey together. Watch this intro video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6-NidpfnWU
