Christina Sanders
I am a caring therapist who supports adults eager to take an active role in their mental health and personal growth. I specialize in adult ADHD and also work with anxiety, life transitions, and work-related stress, using evidence-based methods to foster emotional regulation, enhance self-esteem, and encourage follow-through.
I specialize in anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, and work-related stress, using evidence-based approaches to support emotional regulation, self-esteem, and follow-through.
I deeply value consistency, accountability, and warm, thoughtful engagement in therapy. My approach is best suited for clients who are motivated to develop new skills, reflect honestly, and create meaningful, lasting change.
First session
Our first session explores why you're seeking therapy, your goals, and the changes you want. We'll review your history, stressors, and how ADHD shows up in daily life and past strategies. I'll explain my approach and what to expect. The supportive, collaborative session works best when you're honest, engaged, and complete the paperwork. Therapy works best with consistency, openness, and practice outside sessions.
Strengths
I use a structured, skills-based method tailored for ADHD, with a calm, supportive approach. I help clients break down overwhelming thoughts, tasks, and emotions using evidence-based techniques like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness. My sessions aim to improve insight, focus, and follow-through. Clients often gain clarity, build practical systems aligned with their needs, and feel more confident managing ADHD, work, and life changes.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is an adult with ADHD (diagnosed or still figuring it out), or navigating anxiety, life transitions, work stress, self-esteem concerns, or women's issues- someone who's ready to take an active role in their own growth. You might feel stuck between what you know you're capable of and what you can actually execute day-to-day, or maybe life's handed you a big transition and you want support making sense of it rather than white-knuckling through it alone. You don't need to have it all figured out before we start. I work best with clients who are curious about their own patterns, open to structure, and willing to try new tools between sessions- people who want a therapist who sees them as capable, not a problem to fix.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to assist you in recognizing the thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, self-criticism, or the shame associated with ADHD, and to substitute them with more constructive ways of thinking that genuinely support your well-being.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use DBT skills to help you manage intense emotions and distress without judging yourself, especially if ADHD or trauma makes emotional reactivity overwhelming.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I use ACT to help you stop fighting the parts of yourself you can't control- like an ADHD brain- and instead get clear on what matters most to you, so your energy goes toward the life you actually want.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I incorporate mindfulness to help you build a pause between impulse and action- useful for ADHD-related impulsivity and for grounding when anxiety feels like too much.
Trauma Informed Care
Trauma-informed care underlies everything I do- I move at your pace, and I stay attentive to how past experiences show up in the present, including the body's response to stress.
