Sonja Bandstra
She/Her
Licensed Therapist, MSW, LCSW
About
OCD is misunderstood and much more common than many would believe. I strive to utilize active compassion and empathy to develop rapport with the individuals I treat. Together, we'll develop a strong working relationship. It's important to me that you feel physically, emotionally, and spiritually safe in our sessions. I hope we'll create a space where you can share your deepest thoughts without fear of judgment. Beyond OCD treatment, my other areas of focus include substance abuse, depression, anxiety disorders, and children/adolescents.
