Dr. Sandra Carey

Sandra G. Carey, Psy.D., M.S., is a psychotherapist and nutrition and health educator. Her greatest interest is in joining people on their journey towards an authentic, peaceful, and meaningful life, believing everyone has a unique road to travel towards their optimum health and well-being. Specific areas of interest and experience when working with individuals in psychotherapy include grief and loss, LGBT issues, spirituality, healthy relationships, depression, mindfulness, women's issues, and living vitally throughout the life span.

As a nutrition educator, she is able to offer assessment, information, guidance, and support on many issues pertaining to food and nutrients. This work often enhances one's quality of life and overall health.

Combining her two fields allows Dr. Carey to help people address the complex interplay between mental health and issues of diet and healthy lifestyle. Her research has focused on how dietary patterns and exercise affect symptoms of depression and anxiety, and she has come to believe that there is a strong correlation between emotional well-being, physical health, and nutritional patterns.

Dr. Carey's work is ultimately motivated by a desire to accompany and equip others along their journey to live life with the greatest amount of balance and vitality. She currently has plans to facilitate women's groups entitled "Women Food and God: Stop Dieting, Start Living." You can find more information in our Class Schedules section.
