Clinton, Connecticut therapist: Dr. Sandra Clifton, life coach
Motivational Interviewing (MI)

Dr. Sandra Clifton

Life Coach, EdD, PCC, BCET
It was once written that, "Our first spiritual duty is not to hate ourselves" (Swami Vivekananda, 1893) but so many of us struggle with that exact task...We have studied our weaknesses so well that the knowledge of our flaws and failures overshadows the very idiosyncrasies that can actually set us free. The journey of recognizing our True Self is not for the faint of heart--but the rewards are exponential. I support my clients to claim the gifts that have been waiting for them all along--and then move forward with the courage and compassion to embrace each new obstacle of authenticity.

Germantown, Tennessee therapist: Princes McCarther, licensed clinical social worker
Motivational Interviewing (MI)

Princes McCarther

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I am a LCSW offering compassionate, trauma-focused care, grounded in the cultural insight I bring as an Asian therapist. I offer Telehealth appointments in FL, TN, NC, and IN. Many of the adults I work with come to me feeling weighed down by trauma, anxiety, or depression. They’ve tried to manage on their own, but the patterns keep repeating—emotionally, relationally, or in daily functioning. Together, we work to understand what’s underneath those reactions, reduce the intensity of symptoms, and rebuild a sense of safety, agency, and self-trust.
