Joseph Sanders, LCSW

Joseph Sanders is a licensed clinical social worker offering services to adults in Illinois and New Jersey. He has a variety of clinical interests; however, he specializes in mood disorders, substance abuse, anxiety disorder, trauma, depression and PTSD. In his practice, Joseph partners with clients to explore difficulties, possible solutions and ways to deal with them. He strongly believes in building on the strengths that each client brings to therapy and developing coping skills and tools to assist in the difficulties that they are experiencing. 

Joseph’s interest in mental and behavioral health care developed from personal experience; several of his family members had substance abuse and mental health issues and were successful in both inpatient and outpatient treatment. 

Joseph is also an Eagle Scout, abstract artist and enjoys 70 & 80’s alternative music.
