My name is Faith Sanders. I am a licensed mental health counselor with over 10 years of experience in the field of psychology and mental health. I started my career as an addictions researcher at the University at Buffalo. After about 4 years, I decided I was destined to connect to people through clinical practice. I have specialties in Mindfulness, Trauma-informed care, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I provide a space free of judgment and I hope to lead you to a healthier connection with yourself. My approach is very goal-directed, but also gentle in being present with and working through difficult emotions that prohibit personal growth.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Faith Sanders. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I initially came to Faith during a difficult time however I still continue to talk to her 6 months later because I continue to reap the benefits of our work. She has helped me to identity patterns in my thinking and build my abilities in managing stress and anxiety. She is extremely supportive, understanding, positive and focuses on moving forward.
