Ellen M Sanford, MFT

Specialties

I do short-​term Preventive Care with clients who are undergoing transitions in their lives, and who want to develop awareness of potential pitfalls, and gain tools to deal with them.

I do medium– and longer-​term psychotherapy with individuals, couples, and families. Though therapy can be challenging at times, I utilize several modalities to enable my clients to recognize short-​term successes while working toward their larger hopes or goals. No two clients are alike, and I strive to create a warm, safe, and enjoyable environment that meets each person just where they are, while utilizing my clinical expertise to facilitate the work they’ve come to do.

I also do phone and group support for parents of teenagers; providing psycho-​education; supporting appropriate boundaries; addressing the concerns and specific details of each situation. We also remember to laugh!

I do enjoy my work a great deal, and encourage anyone interested in meeting me to give me a call.
