Sandra Schatanoff-Weitzman, LCSW, M.Ed., EMDR Trained

My counselor education began when I obtained my first graduate degree at the University of Delaware. I highly valued the experience I gained working with students therapeutically on campus, especially as a staff member of Student Services for Athletes. After my time at the University of Delaware, I moved to New York City to further my studies in Clinical Social Work at NYU. This experience afforded me the opportunity to gain considerable knowledge living there for over a decade, and procuring experience in various settings, working in high school health centers, colleges and universities, major hospitals, and community organizations. I am excited to return to Delaware as a part of Counseling Associates of Delaware. I offer both in person as well as virtual (telehealth) appointments.

I have extensive clinical experience with adolescents and adults who experience challenges with depression, anxiety, adjustment and trauma disorders, self-esteem, personal growth and development, racial identity and diversity issues, relationship concerns, separation and divorce, career transitions, and bereavement.

My therapeutic approach includes a culturally aware, strengths-based and collaborative approach when working with individual clients and families. I employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness techniques as a part of my practice. I believe it is a privilege to work with each client honoring the fact that everyone has a right to live authentically without fear or judgment in their pursuit of love, peace, and success.

Just for today, do not worry. Just for today, do not anger. Just for today, be humble. Just for today, be honest. Just for today, be compassionate towards yourself and others.” -Buddhist Monk Mikao Usui
