Sandy Drew is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in Lawsonville, NC. Sandy’s therapy practice welcomes adults of all life stages, including young adults and seniors. She helps individuals to better understand and overcome difficult emotions, including the emotions that tend to show up with anxiety or depression. Many of her clients have trauma backgrounds, which can lead to heightened distress or difficulty coping with stress.

She provides supportive prompting to help clients to learn more about themselves and recognize truths about themselves and their lives, also providing tangible coping skills to help when there’s stress.
