Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals and families across diverse clinical settings. My career began in group homes working with adolescents and adults living with chronic mental illness, followed by work with the Department of Children and Families, Visiting Nurse Association and Crisis Intervention through the hospital Emergency Department where I developed strong skills in assessment, stabilization, and systems navigation.

For the past 10 years, I have specialized in Integrated Behavioral Health within a primary care setting, collaborating closely with medical providers to deliver whole-person, accessible mental health care.

I earned my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) from Marist College and my Master of Social Work (MSW) from Fordham University. I utilize a range of evidence-based and client-centered treatment modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), insight-oriented therapy, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. My work is grounded in helping clients build insight, develop coping strategies, and move toward meaningful, sustainable change.

Many of my clients come in carrying more than most people can see — anxiety that won't quiet down, grief that still feels fresh, or a past that keeps showing up in the present. I work with adults navigating depression, PTSD, substance use, and the kind of complicated emotions that don't fit neatly into words. I'm genuinely invested in your progress and am here to support you on your path towards living a more balanced life. I see clients across Connecticut via telehealth.

Whether you're navigating a major life change, working through anxiety that feels hard to shake, or taking steps toward recovery, you don't have to do it alone. I work with people who are ready to be honest about where they are, even when that's uncomfortable. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without fear of judgment, and start building the life you actually want.

Therapist

My therapeutic style is to ask a lot of questions and really try to find the answers to what is bothering you. In our sessions, you will cry, laugh, talk excessively or talk a little. Our sessions will be all about you and what you need in the moment. I want our sessions to be a safe place for you to be comfortable. Bring your treats and your tissues. Bring your patience and your strength. We will be together and I will support you when you are feeling weak. Usually, I see what makes you special first. You will need to tell me what is wrong.

Sandra Lerzundy-Price

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


I am Sandra Lerzundy‐Price, LMFT, a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Clinical Director dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families create meaningful, lasting change. My work is grounded in systemic thinking and a holistic view of wellbeing — honoring the integration of body, soul, mind, and spirit.

With over a decade of experience across private practice, outpatient, inpatient, and high‐acuity behavioral health settings, I offer a steady, restorative, and collaborative therapeutic space. I believe therapy helps us understand the “dance” we’ve been doing — the patterns, roles, and reactions that shape our relationships — and supports us in creating new ways of relating that foster connection, clarity, healing and growth.

As a couples therapist, I help partners strengthen communication, rebuild trust, deepen emotional intimacy, and interrupt conflict cycles. I draw from the Gottman Method, Prepare/Enrich, attachment‐based work, and systemic relational models to help couples build healthier patterns and a stronger foundation.

I also treat anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, chronic conditions, family issues, grief and bereavement, infertility, PTSD, trauma, stress management, relationship concerns, and life‐cycle transitions. My approach integrates systemic, person centered models, CBT, Motivational Interviewing (MI), EMDR‐informed principles, Structural Family Therapy, DBT‐informed strategies, and somatic awareness practices to support the whole person.

At Restorative Therapy Services, I provide in‐person and telehealth appointments for teens, adults, couples, and families. I am committed to helping clients feel understood, supported, and empowered as they move toward healing, resilience, and deeper connection.

Therapist

Prior to becoming a psychotherapist I was exactly where you are now reaching out for support. You don't have to go through this alone. I have a Master's Degree in Holistic Counseling and I am also a licensed Mental Health Counselor with 20 years experience working with anxiety, depression, loss and trauma. Therapy helped me to understand myself and cope with my situation. It also led me to my education which, taught me that seeing yourself as a whole gives you more options to choose from when things go wrong. By combining the two I can better support what you most need so you can move forward with purpose and see that there is life beyond coping.
