An intake is a way for us to get to know each other and make sure we are the right "fit"
Throughout her 13 years career Jillian Sarandrea, LMHC has worked with numerous populations dealing with the common theme of trauma. Trauma is not relegated to one population and its effects vary widely. Focusing on how an individual's trauma is manifesting and impacting them is on of Ms. Sarandrea's specialities. Ms. Sarandrea also has a specific focus on emotional eating co-morbid with depression and anxiety. If you feel you are using food to cope with overwhelming emotions and want to break out of the vicious cycle of sadness, guilt, and shame then it's imperative you address the links between your emotions and nutrition. * please book session but understand that the time/date booked is placeholder.

Jillian has been wonderful with helping me see why I am at where I am in my life now and showing me how to accept and value myself while making small changes and that this is ok. She has been a wealth of insight and helping me to see why I have always seen things in ways that may have not always been the best for me. She provides me with the knowledge to move forward with her experience and recommendations.
