Careers at Sanctuary

Do you remember why you felt called to be a therapist? Do you recall what you hoped this career would be like? And were you disappointed when you found that many counseling positions seemed overly medical-model, managed care driven, or transactional and held little room for the deep and lasting change you wanted to facilitate?

We were, too. Which is why Sanctuary Counseling has grown into something different. Here we offer clients authentic presence, meaningful therapy, and a supportive environment for both clients and clinicians.

Welcome to Sanctuary

Each day, clients tell us how different it feels at Sanctuary - from the warm, inviting spaces to the way they feel genuinely supported and cared for. “Home” and “welcoming” are words we hear often. Clients frequently remain with us for extended periods, allowing us to see the broader, longitudinal context of their lives.

Our colleagues bring intelligence, innovation, and dedication to both the art and science of psychotherapy. As a team, we balance compassion and accountability, showing up for our clients and for one another.

Our Values

  1. We love our clients. Really.

  2. We don’t offer band-aids. We invest hard work and deep, lasting change.

  3. We check our issues, but not our humanity, at the door.  (Remember, it’s THEIR therapy, not ours.)

  4. We are committed to inclusivity, working with people of all ages, backgrounds, faiths, and identities.
