Kelsey Sander

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 1.9 mi away • Alpharetta, GA


Hi! My name is Kelsey! I am a fully-licensed therapist who loves working with people with eating disorders, body image issues, OCD, anxiety, childhood sexual abuse, trauma, life transitions, and relationship concerns. At State of Grace Counseling Services, I am dedicated to providing a safe and compassionate space for individuals to explore their mental health, eating disorder, and trauma recovery needs. My mission is to empower clients and their families to overcome challenges, build fulfilling relationships, and increase happiness and meaning in life. I have worked in the eating disorder space for more than 6 years, including being the Clinical Director of an eating disorder program.

I grew up in Richmond, VA, attended undergrad at Furman University, and completed my Masters degree at VCU. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS).

When I am not seeing clients, I enjoy time with friends, hiking, traveling, reading, exploring new restaurants, and game nights.

And yes, the practice name is a nod to both my love of Christ as well as my love of Taylor Swift; gotta love dialectics!

I look forward to working together!

When trying to do it all yourself is no longer working....stress, anxiety, depression and life transitions can feel heavy and burdensome. Would you like to put that down? You need understanding, insight and someone to dig in with what is going on within all the layers that make you...YOU. We all need help sometimes to work through expected and unexpected life events. You may be surprised at how you are responding or that you are researching treatment options period.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Alpharetta

Searching for therapists in Alpharetta starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Alpharetta therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match your needs. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

In a smaller city like Alpharetta, local appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your search beyond offices near Downtown Alpharetta, Avalon, North Point, or your daily commute while still keeping care with a therapist licensed in Georgia. When narrowing your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how a therapist communicates, what they focus on, and what a first session may include.

Therapy in Alpharetta can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before starting care. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and view estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse therapists in Alpharetta, review profiles, and book directly when you are ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
