“Working with this Dr. Sanders has been incredibly helpful. She makes scheduling simple, and I always felt supported. I went in thinking I needed in-person sessions, but the virtual appointments have been even better — more convenient and just as meaningful. She’s helped me through a lot, and I’m truly thankful for her care.”

Getting to know Dr. Michelle Sanders

Thank you for taking the first—and courageous—step toward finding a clinician who feels like the right fit. I am a licensed psychologist in New York and Texas, with training and experience grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment Theory.

If you’re ready to take the next step, I’m here to help.
