Getting to know Dr. Sandy Thompson

Do you put everyone else’s needs first, even when it feels draining? Do you feel not quite good enough, despite your best efforts? You don't have to keep doing this alone. I hold a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University and have over a decade of experience specializing in assumption-free cognitive behavioral therapy. I offer a warm, collaborative, and direct approach to help you overcome anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing, and relationship and boundary challenges. Whether you’re struggling with stress, self-doubt, or simply feeling stuck in your current situation, I’m here to help you understand your experiences with self-compassion, and create observable, lasting change so your life feels more balanced and fulfilling.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I tailor cognitive behavioral therapy to help you gain clarity and effectively navigate challenges and transitions in your career, relationships, and family. In a supportive and non-judgmental space, we’ll explore patterns of thinking and behavior that may be holding you back, build on your strengths, and practice new ways of engaging with life that align with your personal goals and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy is designed as a shorter-term therapy – it is so important that you see and feel the changes that you're hoping for as quickly as possible.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Starting therapy can feel daunting, but rest assured that change is possible, and I'm here to support you every step of the way. Together, we'll move at a pace that feels right for you, empowering you to overcome challenges and build a balanced life that reflects what’s most important to you. If you're looking for a proactive, compassionate therapist, reach out today — let's find the balance on your life path!
