Sandy Boone LPC, NCC, CCMHC, CIMHP, BC-TMH

Sandy Boone began her counseling career in 2015 after eighteen years in the medical field. It was during her experience as a Certified Clinical Research Coordinator that Sandy began to understand that body, mind, and spirit were intricately connected, that we must treat the entire person, and that the relationship had a more significant impact on healing than any modality we choose. While pursuing her graduate degree, she became fascinated in the body’s innate responses to trauma and how trauma exposure impacted physical health.

Sandy’s past medical experience puts her in a unique position to understand the nuances of body-based therapies and assist clients in advocating for themselves with their medical providers. She uses body-based therapies such as Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing, and Integrative Health to help her clients heal from past childhood, relational, and physical traumas. Her work is also heavily informed by Internal Family Systems, Attachment Theory, Solution Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Sandy is also knowledgeable in Critical Incident Stress Management.

As a practitioner instructor for graduate students at Wake Forest University, Sandy also consults with and provides clinical guidance to other therapists regarding case conceptualization, treatment planning, diagnosis, and therapeutic modalities. Sandy also provides coaching services to individuals that are looking to positively impact their current quality of life in a holistic way.
