Sanja Broer, LCSWA
Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate
I am here to help you take a deeper dive into your emotional experiences so that you can better understand yourself, your patterns, and your relationships. In addition, I strongly believe that the therapeutic relationship plays a central role in the healing process, and I strive to hold a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space for you to explore and learn how to feel safe with your emotions, and the emotions of others. Therefore, I view our work together as a collaborative and evolving process that moves at your pace and caters to your needs.
We will work together to identify patterns that may be hindering your progress, develop effective coping skills, and help you foster a healthier relationship with yourself andothers. Above all, I believe we all have the ability to heal and uncover our authentic selves; this process is truly for everyone. However, you don’t have to do it alone – I would be privileged to journey alongside you.

I am passionate about working with clients from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, and I am committed to providing culturally sensitive and inclusive care. For instance, as someone who has personally benefited from therapy, I strongly believe in the transformative power of a trusting therapeutic relationship. In other words, it has been a life-changing experience for me, and I would be honored to be a part of your journey towards conscious awareness and self-discovery. Therefore, I believe we all have the ability to heal and uncover our authentic selves; this process is truly for everyone.
I have experience providing therapy to individuals and couples in outpatient therapy settings. Additionally, I have supported clients through a range of challenges, including trauma and C/PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief, self-harm, relationship issues, and life transitions.
