Kelly Sandler, Board Certified Behavior Analyst and founder of Motherhood Applied

In her words:

“I spent 20+ years in therapy trying to address what I believed was a moral flaw in who I was. Only through my work with Kelly did I realize I wasn't broken, that these were behaviors I'd developed over a lifetime, and I could change them to work for me instead of against me.”

“She taught me to notice what happens before the stress takes over, before the overwhelm sets in, and to identify it so you can change the outcome.”

“She reminded me how to show up for myself. That I was allowed to need rest, and time, and peace. That my needs mattered too.”

“Small changes are more achievable and sustainable. She taught me that a large goal is a multi-step process of achieving small goals progressively.”

“She doesn’t just tell me what I want to hear. She challenges me when I need it, and never judges me for where I am.”
