ABOUT US

 

White Sands Counseling Center was designed to offer customer service and a more personalized service rather than a one-hour session alone. We offer more support to our clients such as weekly feedback, follow-up on assignments (if the client desires) and tele-therapy. We recognized a growing deficit in the healthcare business. Too often people are pushed through the system without truly feeling heard.  This deficit is a disservice to the human factor, the you factor. The Co-Owners, Danette and Joey, decided to bring back certain factors to this specialty. They have each worked in the Healthcare\Medical Service Industries for over 13 years. Danette and Joey created White Sands Counseling with you in mind and they want to make sure that you know you are being heard and valued.

 

 

Clinical Supervision

 

At White Sands Counseling we strongly believe in serving those who serve others. As our population grows, so does the need for counseling services.  This means there is a need for more clinicians to stay local. We believe through our Internship program we are allowing more clinicians to stay and serve our growing community. This relationship between professionals is a two-way street. Our Interns bring the latest institutional teachings that expand our current practices and techniques.  We feel this is a very competitive and comprehensible program. If you are an intern looking for a supervisor, give us a call or fill out our quick application!
