Sandra Voss, LCSW is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NYC with a BA in Psychology, and is also a Certified Yoga Teacher. She specializes in working with young adults, and has a special interest in working with people dealing with chronic illness and with loss and bereavement.

Sandra first began working with children with Autism in 2008, and ever since then has found herself drawn to the topic of Autism, seeking out books and other media about the neurodiversity movement and the experiences of people on the spectrum. Throughout her past several years of working in mental health clinics and the community college setting, Sandra has worked with individuals of a variety of ages on the spectrum, and with clients both on and off the spectrum who have experienced depression, trauma history, generalized and social anxiety, difficulties with communication, adjustment and relationship difficulties, and issues of emerging adulthood.

Using a client-centered, strengths-based approach, Sandra provides warm therapeutic support and helps her clients to identify their own goals for therapy. Sandra equally enjoys helping clients with the more concrete tasks of decision making, identifying and reaching goals, or behavior change; and taking a more exploratory approach — for example, better understanding oneself and one’s identity, identifying family patterns, and dealing with the more existential issues of life.

Sandra’s therapeutic approach is eclectic, incorporating elements of narrative therapy, trauma-informed therapy, psychodynamic therapy, solution-focused therapy, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy. She also enjoys teaching mindfulness and relaxation techniques to clients experiencing stress and anxiety. Sandra is an LGBTQIA+ -affirming therapist and strives to be anti-racist both in her work with clients and in everyday life.
