About me

My name is Mary 'Beth' Fisher Sanders and I go by 'Beth Sanders'. I have practiced for over 30 years and am a licensed clinical social worker with certifications that reflect extensive background in addictions and other mental health issues. I have also worked for most of my career with a focus on families and couples. My approach is relational. There are as many approaches to therapy as there are therapists - if we align to work together my role is to empower you to reach your goals, to help you identify the assets and barriers to doing so, and perhaps teach some healthy coping and communication strategies as well. I consider the journey to self awareness and understanding a sacred journey, and one that is vital for desired change. Time is a precious commodity, and I will challenge you to maximize yours to achieve desired results. Additionally, it is a process that I myself continue to do, so be assured that there is nothing that I will ask you to do that I have not done myself. While I do not claim to be a religiously based therapist, please know that there is a spiritual foundation in my approach and I will meet you whereever you are in your spirituality, whatever that means to you. I consider it a great honor to know the deepest parts of those that I walk and work with, and will help you lift up and strengthen the best parts of you.

Beth has been great in working and getting to know me to understand what we need work on and where we want to drive the ship for better outcomes in my life.

Mary is awesome. She takes time to listen to my specific concerns, in order to determine what steps I can take to improve on things needed in specific areas of my life; things like procrastination, stagnation, and past traumas, that may be affecting me, and the way like moves around me now. The areas in which I want to improve, are improving. Thank you Mary!

Mary has skills that are beyond her credentials. She super intuitive and sees me. I just love our connection time. I learn so much and it's helping me re-shape my old patterns and see my circumstances differently. I highly recommend her - she will care for you well!
