Getting to know Sonya Sanders-Murray

Hello, I'm Sonya, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Maryland. With over 30 years of experience, I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults, tailoring my approach to meet each client's unique needs. I hold degrees from Morgan State University and the University of Maryland School of Social Work, and my professional journey has taken me through residential programs, outpatient mental health settings, and educational forums across all grade levels. My therapeutic philosophy is rooted in the belief that therapy is a collaborative process. I see it as a team effort where you and I work together to navigate your challenges and achieve your goals. I utilize a variety of techniques, including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, play therapy, mindfulness, and holistic methods, to create a customized treatment plan that best suits your needs. I have extensive experience in areas such as child and adolescent behavior, mental health for adolescents and adults, anger management, anxiety, ADHD, depression, family relationships, life transitions, multicultural and diversity issues, stress, suicidal ideation and self-harming behaviors, trauma, grief, and bereavement. Whether you're dealing with a specific issue or seeking general support, I'm here to help you find a path forward. In our sessions, you can expect a supportive and engaging environment where your voice is heard and valued. I believe in the power of partnership and am committed to working alongside you to foster growth and healing. My approach is holistic, considering all aspects of your well-being to ensure comprehensive care. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy activities that nurture my own well-being and keep me grounded. This balance allows me to bring my best self to our sessions and offer you the empathetic and effective support you deserve. If you're ready to take the next step in your journey, I invite you to reach out.
