Sandra Porter

My name is Sandra, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) through the National Board for Certified Counselors. I hold a Master of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor of Arts in Women’s Studies. My background includes extensive experience working in both inpatient and outpatient hospital settings, where I’ve had the privilege of serving individuals from diverse backgrounds and walks of life.

My greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to listen deeply, provide empathy without judgment, and meet clients where they are. I create an environment where you can feel safe to share your story openly and honestly. Through talk therapy, guided reflection, and practical strategies, we’ll work to rewrite your narrative—turning challenges into opportunities for insight, empowerment, and transformation.

I am deeply passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges, build emotional resilience, and rediscover their inner strength. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices, such as, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. In addition, I provide a range of eclectic proven approaches that best fits a client’s needs. Together, we’ll work to identify unhelpful patterns, process life experiences, and develop practical tools that foster healing and personal growth.

Our first session will serve as an introduction—a chance for us to get to know each other and begin laying the foundation for your therapy journey. I’ll ask questions to understand your background, goals, and what brought you here, while creating a warm, nonjudgmental space for you to share at your own pace. We’ll work together to establish goals that feel meaningful and achievable as we begin mapping out your personalized treatment plan.
