Bio

Jennifer Sander is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and owner of Sandstone Counseling & Consultation, LLC in Peoria, Arizona. With 25 years of experience in the mental health field, she holds the Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) designation and is one of a select group of therapists certified in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) — a research-backed approach that addresses the neurological roots of chronic pain.

Jennifer's practice sits at the intersection of physical and emotional health. She works with people navigating the invisible weight of chronic illness — the exhaustion, identity shifts, and grief that come with a body that doesn't cooperate — as well as those supporting a loved one through serious illness. She understands that caregiving is its own kind of labor, and that compassion fatigue and burnout are real clinical concerns, not signs of weakness.

In addition to her private practice, she is co-located at a pain management clinic in Glendale, where she works alongside physicians in an integrated care model. She is also a licensed clinical supervisor through the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health, providing supervision to associate-level clinicians.

"Through evidence-based techniques, you'll learn additional coping skills, adjust to major life stressors, and reinvent yourself to become the person you want to be."

Jennifer draws on CBT, Pain Reprocessing Therapy, Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET), motivational interviewing, and compassion-focused and person-centered approaches. She works with clients across the lifespan — from children through older adults — and is LGBTQ+ allied.
