Cody Sanders, LCSW-S
I work with individuals who are ready for more than symptom relief—they’re seeking deep, lasting change.
My practice is designed for people navigating trauma, identity, and internal conflict that doesn’t resolve with surface-level approaches. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals as well as those impacted by trauma, including active duty service members and high-functioning adults who may appear “put together” on the outside while struggling internally with anxiety, disconnection, or unresolved experiences.
My approach is grounded in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic therapy. Together, we look beyond immediate symptoms to understand the underlying patterns, relational dynamics, and emotional processes shaping your life. This kind of work can be especially powerful for those who feel stuck in repetitive cycles, experience difficulty in relationships, or carry a persistent sense that something deeper isn’t being addressed.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Work Supervisor with advanced psychoanalytic training—including a psychoanalytic fellowship and current candidacy as a fourth-year psychoanalytic scholar—I bring a high level of clinical depth and specialization to my work. I was also the founder of the first PTSD Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for active duty service members in the Indo-Pacific region, which reinforces my expertise in working with complex trauma stemming from combat deployments, sexual assault, and childhood trauma.
Therapy with me is collaborative, thoughtful, and intentionally paced. We create a space where all parts of your identity are welcome, including aspects that may feel difficult to name or explore elsewhere. Whether you are processing trauma, exploring your identity, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, this work is about creating meaningful and sustainable change—not just short-term relief.
If you’re looking for therapy that goes beyond coping skills and toward deeper transformation, please contact me for a consultation.
