Meet Sanaria

Certified EMDR Therapist, LMSW

Sanaria is a resilience-centered clinician who believes that every individual already possesses the internal resources needed to heal and cope with daily life.

I believe healing begins when you feel safe enough to explore your experiences without judgment and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been lost along the way. You deserve a space where your identity, culture, and lived experiences are understood and respected.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in the belief that you already possess strengths that can support your healing. Drawing from EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), CBT, and body-based approaches, I help you process difficult experiences, reconnect with yourself, and create meaningful change.

As a Certified EMDR Therapist and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I specialize in helping individuals heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, and attachment wounds. My work goes beyond managing symptoms to explore how past experiences shape your emotions, relationships, and sense of self. I also support couples in understanding relationship patterns, strengthening communication, and building deeper emotional connections.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in the belief that you already possess strengths that can support your healing. Drawing from EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), CBT, and body-based approaches, I help you process difficult experiences, reconnect with yourself, and create meaningful change.

You don’t have to carry your past into every part of your future. Together, we can create space for healing, connection, and a greater sense of freedom.

Real Results From Fellow New Yorkers

I was referred to Transformation Counseling Services because I wanted and needed to work with African American/Black counselors to help me process some of my thoughts after a car crash involving myself and my child. I highly recommend them to Black folk and folk of color but I see how their services are for any human who needs to process any aspect of their life to unclog or make clear issues that are rooted in trauma or traumatic experiences.

Sanaria's approach to trauma work is unlike anything I've experienced before. She helped me feel safe in my own body again, and I finally understand why certain things triggered me.

Working with Sanaria has helped me untangle patterns I've carried for years. She's grounded, culturally attuned, and never makes assumptions about my experience.

Frequently asked questions

Is online therapy as effective as sitting in a traditional office?

Yes. Extensive clinical data shows that teletherapy utilizing structured CBT, EMDR, and Gottman Couples Therapy frameworks delivers identical therapeutic outcomes to in-person visits. Client retention is actually higher online because it cuts out travel stress.

What if I don’t vibe with the therapist I’m matched with?

Clinical chemistry is essential to your success. Our Perfect-Match Promise means you can request a transfer to a different provider in our network at any time, instantly, without any uncomfortable conversations.

How do I know how much my copay will actually be?

We will find out for you. Our billing team does an official eligibility check directly with your carrier before your intake session. If we find your specific plan is out-of-network, you owe nothing for the verification.
