Sable Sanders, LCSW

I am an experienced LCSW who works with Black women struggling with people-pleasing, setting boundaries, and low self-esteem.

In a safe, judgment-free space, I use CBT, mindfulness, and deep breathing techniques to help these women become more present and feel more in control so they can recognize the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Through our work together, my clients learn to cope with the guilt of saying "no," that boundaries are vital for any healthy relationship, and that self-care is not selfish but necessary for self-preservation.

I believe that an essential component of the therapeutic relationship is trust. I want clients to leave each session feeling heard and validated. My goal is to empower clients to learn to create more balance in their lives, have more faith in their own decision-making, and learn to hold themselves and others accountable for meeting their new standards.

In addition to providing therapeutic services in private practice, I have worked as a domestic violence advocate, parenting coach, school social worker, and community support specialist for individuals with severe and persistent mental illness. I have also facilitated yoga classes, support groups, and specialized workshops on various topics, including setting boundaries and self-care.

I understand how various aspects of life can interact and cause stress, and I am dedicated to providing well-rounded care that aims to treat the whole being.
