Hello my name is Sandra Moore and I have had the heart for helping others for as long as I can remember! I recall seeing my first client at the age of 22 and felt the passion I had to help others. I have an Associates degree in psychology, a Bachelors degree in psychology, a Masters degree in Social Work and I am Licensed by the Board of Behavioral Sciences. I love working with a variety of populations.

Fun fact: I'm a proud boy mom—my son and even our pup are boys! Living in a house full of boys has taught me flexibility, resilience, and a good sense of humor, so not much scares me.

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Modesto, CA

Searching for family therapists in Modesto starts with finding someone trained to support the relationships within a family system. Family therapy may help families work through parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication patterns, and stress across generations. As you compare Modesto therapists, look for a therapist whose profile lists family therapy experience, relevant approaches, and the concerns your family wants to address.

In a mid-sized city like Modesto, your options may include local office visits, virtual appointments, or a mix of both. Some family therapy sessions include the full family, while others may include parents, caregivers, siblings, or individual family members at different points. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for session structure, appointment availability, and communication style. A free phone consultation can also help you ask how they typically guide family sessions.

Therapy in Modesto can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing support more affordable. Headway helps you find family therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, estimate your out-of-pocket cost before you book, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. You can compare profiles, review availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
