I have seen Sanndra a couple different times. She helped me successfully manage my PTSD and has also helped my husband and I through a very difficult time. Sanndra is honest and sometimes tells you what you don’t want to hear. I understand that some people may not like this, but I believe a good therapist has to tell you what you don’t want to hear. If a therapist just agreed with you all the time, what’s the point of going to therapy? Sanndra actively listens and thinks about her response. My husband really like her and appreciates her wise feedback. I highly recommend Sanndra/A Welcomed Change, especially if you are struggling with anxiety or PTSD.

For being a place where sympathy understanding and encouragement should be the main priority this place puts that last. From the first phone call. She , Alessandra D was very dismissive and short also very insensitive. Did you not touch on these subjects from your schooling? I would not recommend this place. Did not try to resolve or make suggestions to resolve. From what I experienced she must be a new graduate with little experience. Also has little sympathy with people that needs therapy. Go somewhere else where they care about everybody and is willing to help.

Sanndra's insightful, gentle, and skillful coaching and support has helped me walk through a shattering death, challenging job choices and my esteem issues. She shares skills that I use to be balanced in times of difficulty. She also calls me out when I am skirting an issue in such a way that I am not defensive. I have recommended A Welcomed Change to others and received thanks.

Was not aligned to treat LGBTQIA2S+ or BIPOC. Ablist toward neurodivergentcies. Critical/shaming, while avoiding actually deep topics. Insensitive toward trauma and tends to push to the point of retrumatization regardless of clientele's obvious signs of overwhelm. Tended to come to sessions unprepared, disorganized and often forgetting major details of previous sessions. Overall dismissive and
potentially harmful if one has complex issues they need to work through. I personally found her very difficult to trust even after giving it a couple months.

I go with Alessandra every month. Very honest. Seems knowledgeable and gives me coping mechanisms outside counseling to encompass through my day to day life.

Circumstances in our life happened and our marriage suffered. The counseling at A Welcomed Change helped us through this tough time and strengthened our marriage. Thank you, Sanndra!

She never got to the root of the problem while having therapy with her. I don't recommend her at all.
