Kari Sandy Counseling
Get to Know Us
Our therapeutic approach is to provide a safe and supportive environment to explore your concerns, and to provide practical feedback to help you effectively address life challenges. We implement dialectical and cognitive behavioral therapies including mindfulness-based brief treatment. These combined techniques provide powerful tools through which we can understand ourselves with more clarity and improve relationships with others.
With more than 10 years’ experience as a social worker and clinical psychologist, we truly enjoy helping individuals and families identify issues and make effective changes. Our clinical focus includes emerging adults, adolescents, couples, individuals, and first responders. We have
enjoyed past experiences working with patients in hospital and community settings, including community mental health and residential care. We believe change is possible for every person, and we are engaged, solution-focused practitioners.
