Available for evaluations only. / Hi, I'm Hannah (she/they)! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and am passionate about working with young adults to help them improve their quality of life. My expertise is in Autism & ADHD, LGBTQ+ issues, body image & disordered eating, trauma, and women's issues. I have multiple years of experience working with clients in intensive outpatient settings, after-school programs, inpatient hospital settings, crisis services, and individual outpatient treatment. I also provide Autism diagnostic evaluations, specializing in diagnosing Level 1 Autistic adults.

I specialize in helping people respond more effectively to painful feelings, bothersome worry, and upsetting memories. The frantic feeling of anxiety, emotional roller coaster of relationship stress, or sadness of depression don't have to be part of your life forever. Sometimes even our best efforts to fix things miss the mark and leave us stuck in a rut. While harsh thoughts and tough feelings may seem like they have a grip on your life, therapy can often help reduce your struggle, refocus on what's most meaningful to you, and develop a healthier relationship with yourself and others.

Do you ever wonder how you fit into the grand scheme of things, how to live a meaningful life, how to create fulfilling connections with others, or how to come to peace with who, at the center of it all, you really are? I love Aristotle's concept of “eudaimonia,” or “the good life.” Sometimes, our pursuit of the good life gets derailed by psychological challenges like anxiety or by the vicissitudes of life and related uncertainty. I love working with individuals and couples on the foundational questions, as well as more specific anxiety-related challenges.

My name is Sandra Wilkes, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

My role is to support others and present skills for my clients, so they can achieve their desired goals. I provide a safe environment so my clients may feel comfortable while working toward those goals.

I base my approach to therapy on exploring your unique life story and how it is impacting your current thoughts, feelings and behavior. My goal as a therapist is to walk beside you on the path to recovery from both the large and small traumas inherent in the human experience. I have found that the greatest success in therapy comes as clients build healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships by identifying and reframing the unhealthy and inaccurate beliefs that lead to behavior.

I tend to take a humanistic approach to therapy, helping clients assume personal responsibility, set and maintain healthy boundaries, and increase their ability to appropriately communicate.

The counseling world is shifting. The latest studies are proving that effective counseling goes beyond just talk therapy: it includes attention to both the mind and the body. I utilize experiential modalities, based on cutting-edge research and real-world experience by the world’s leading experiential practitioners.

Applying these tandem techniques in the counseling setting helps my clients attain tangible and life-altering changes.
