About

Welcome to Find A Therapist. The decision to talk to someone is a courageous first step! You might be feeling overwhelmed or apprehensive reading through multiple profiles, wondering how this works and how to go about choosing the right therapist. "Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase."
Martin Luther King, Jr.

My name is Erika Sandstedt and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Colorado. I earned my degree at the University of Denver, Graduate School of Social Work, in 1996. Throughout my career, I have been passionate about working with individuals of all ages suffering with emotional, physical, spiritual, and practical life challenges. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I find that laughter can be the best medicine. I use a relationship based approach to therapy and believe in empowering my clients to recognize the strengths in themselves to deal with these challenges. I work collaboratively with my clients to identify their treatment goals and regard the importance of establishing a trusting therapeutic relationship to affect change.

"There is no normal life that is free of pain. It's the very wrestling with our problems that can be the impetus for our growth." Mister Rogers

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!
