The Casual Clinician 

About Me

Hi! My Name is Sandra Winans. I am a psychologist and I am glad that you are here. I specialize in working with teens and young adults, helping them navigate the challenges and uncertainties in their lives. I have a deep understanding of the various issues that young people face, including anxiety, stress, depression, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, social struggles, self-esteem concerns, and parenting challenges. 

I received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Texas in 1993, a Master of Science degree in Early Childhood Disorders from UT Dallas in 1995, and a Doctorate in Counseling Psychology from the University of Houston in 2002.

My approach to therapy is casual. I use a relaxed, cognitive-behavioral approach, which focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. I also incorporate a sense of humor to create a comfortable and non-threatening environment for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings. This approach aims to empower clients to make positive changes in their lives while also developing a greater understanding of themselves 

Basically, I'm here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now, and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment. Whether you are seeking a change for a more confident and joyful life or just need a non-judgmental ear to listen, I am here to support and encourage you!
