Dr. Erica Sanders, LCSW

People often arrive seeking support when life feels overwhelming, when pain or confusion makes decisions difficult, or when they long for a place to speak openly about what weighs on their heart and mind. Dr. Erica Sanders listens for the moments of disappointment, anger, or resentment that can leave someone feeling ready to give up, and she guides individuals toward moving from surviving to thriving.

She became a therapist out of a conviction that everyone deserves a space for honest reflection and insight-oriented feedback about what is troubling them. Dr. Sanders helps clients connect the dots between life events and personal purpose, believing that understanding those links is central to building a more satisfying life. Taking the first step toward change is significant, and her work honors that decision.

Dr. Sanders is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW - and holds a Doctorate from Barry University, along with a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree from The University of Texas at Arlington. With more than 15 years of varied experience, she has worked with children, adults, couples, and families across a range of settings, offering both long-term and brief interventions.

Her areas of expertise include anxiety and depression, relationship challenges, family conflict, and navigating phases of life change and next steps. She draws on a variety of therapeutic tools and adapts treatment to fit the needs of an individual, a couple, or an entire family. Dr. Sanders believes change is most likely when people gain insight, tap into their own strengths, and reclaim a sense of possibility and normalcy.

Outside of professional life, she enjoys traveling, spending time with family, and contributing to community service projects. Helping others is a central passion in her work and professional life.
