Cody Sanders

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Work Supervisor and 5th year postgraduate Psychoanalytic Scholar with the Dallas Psychoanalytic Center. I have a passion for helping others find deep, lasting change as opposed to mere symptom relief.

I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ identities and those impacted by trauma. I had the privilege of launching the first PTSD Intensive Outpatient Program for U.S. military in Korea, treating sexual, childhood, and combat-related trauma, and this experience, combined with my analytic background, largely informs my approach to care.

My practice is designed for people navigating trauma, identity, and internal conflict that doesn’t resolve with surface-level approaches. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ as well as those impacted by trauma, including active duty service members and high-functioning adults who may appear “put together” on the outside while struggling internally with anxiety, disconnection, or unresolved experiences. Together, we look beyond immediate symptoms to locate the underlying patterns and relational dynamics shaping your life.

In our first session, my aim is to help you feel comfortable telling your story in a judgment free environment. Together we will explore what you are hoping to gain in our work together, and the approach will remain collaborative from start to finish.
