Finding Direction.  Finding Hope.

 Important Service Update

Due to recent events, I am suspending in office therapy appointments for the time being.  I will continue to offer therapy appointments through telehealth services until further notice.  My goal is to ensure safety while also not interrupting services.  I am sorry for any inconvenience the current situation may cause.   I hope to resume in person sessions as quickly as possible.

About

Sandra Cole, LMSW, ACSW

As far back as I can remember, I have always had a passion for people.  I thrive on helping others, especially those who are hurting and vulnerable.  Even in high school, I became a peer helper to work with elementary school children who were struggling.  So, as I tried to decide what career to pursue in college, it was a natural fit for me to become a therapist.   In the 24 years I have worked as a therapist since graduating, I have been honored by so many people
