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.

*I take insurance on a separate platform! Please ask if you are interested* Hello everyone! Welcome to my page. I mostly help clients navigate life transitions, infidelity recovery, stress/anger management, and relationship challenges. If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about your next steps, I would love to provide a supportive, direct, and compassionate space to heal and grow. Whether you’re rebuilding trust, setting boundaries, or managing anxiety, I can help you develop clarity, confidence, and emotional resilience. Together, we’ll break unhelpful patterns and create lasting change. I use a lot of CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) to help with reframing thought patterns that may be holding you back. I also explore your past to help understand the root of your issues. We won’t delve into areas you’re not ready for. I hope that, as we build trust, your comfort with vulnerability grows, so together we can face those challenges. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor by the state of Georgia. I have my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and my Bachelor’s in Sociology and Anthropology. I have worked in private practice, prison, school, hospital, and partial hospitalization settings. On a personal note, when I am not providing therapy, I am a performer in NYC. Musical Theatre is a passion of mine and Broadway is definitely the end goal for me. I'm also in the process of learning Korean. My favorite cuisine is Mediterranean food. I am a bariatric patient, I had the gastric sleeve to be exact and have lost 100 lbs. I’m the type of person who goes to the beach and can stay in the water for hours. Most importantly, I never give up. Not on myself and definitely not on other people. Ready to start your journey with me? Let’s go!
