Edna Sanders, LCSW

Psychotherapist
NJ
"Growing up in a small town, I was always motivated to help others. Early experiences like volunteering for the well-being of immigrant kids, assisting an elderly neighbor with managing chronic pain, and providing free meals to needy families made me realize my calling. Post high school, I studied business and social work to further my journey in this field. However, it was my volunteer work where I discovered the profound impact of human connection. Understanding how active listening and encouragement can make an immense difference, I obtained my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree with an emphasis on interpersonal practice and mental health. Experiences in community outreach and clinical settings have allowed me to deepen my understanding of mental health. I have stayed committed to supporting those battling life's challenges, bringing a sense of service and empathy each day. My therapy approach integrates compassion, cooperation, and customization. I aim to provide a secure and non-judgmental environment where you'll feel understood and motivated to heal and grow. We'll work together to identify your goals, create a treatment plan tailored for you, which focuses on stress management, resilience-building, and finding new clarity and purpose. My therapy encompasses multiple evidence-based methods to address any mental or physical health challenge you might be facing, without compromising your personal values and experiences. Be it improving sleep pattern, coping with trauma, strengthening relationships, or finding a healthier path, I am here with you, every step of the way. A fun fact: Being one of the ten children in my family, I grew up loving gardening and berry picking, thanks to my countryside parents. This love for gardening has carried on and remains a part of my life to this day."
