Pandora Healing offers counseling for adults, adolescents, children and families. Our counselors are trained to address various emotional concerns including anxiety, depression, family and peer relationship issues; as well children’s behavioral and emotional needs, including adjustment issues and childhood trauma. If you experience symptoms of sadness, intense anger, and/or constant stress and worry, you may benefit from exploring how certain patterns or experiences may be negatively impacting you, as well as affecting your relationships with others. Our counselors use a strengths based approach that recognizes the unique experiences of each individual and facilitates personal growth through self-awareness and self-compassion. Because our bodies are deeply affected by the state of our emotions we offer a mind/body approach that treats the entire person and invites them to become an active participant in their healing.

Inspired by personal and professional experiences, as well as research in neurobiology, Sandy began to introduce the contemplative practices of therapeutic yoga and mindfulness into her mental health work. These practices encourage quieting the mind and enhancing breathing patterns to balance the nervous system and help alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression. Sandy was so encouraged by the positive response from client's that she recently became e a certified teacher of Integrative Yoga Therapy. Sandy is also trained in Radiant Child Yoga with a focus on addressing the emotional, cognitive and/or behavioral needs of "differently-abled" children.
