Thoughtful therapy for women.

Isabel Spoehr, LCSW, founder of Sanctuary Ridge Therapy

Sanctuary Ridge is a practice founded by a woman, for women. My practice specializes in women’s mental health, rooted in the belief that women deserve care that is specialized, attuned, and met with a deep understanding of the unspoken and nuanced experiences women carry.

I work with women struggling with the demands of life who want a more balanced path forward. Many of these individuals appear to have it all together, yet privately feel a sense of insecurity, instability or indecisiveness that leaves them feeling stuck in depression, anxiety or unhealthy patterns. These symptoms often surface when a life shift occurs: becoming a mother, leaving for college, changing careers, shifting family roles, empty nest, divorce.

Together we make room for the curiosity needed to explore the habits that often come with it — avoidance, emotional dysregulation, conflict in relationships, people pleasing, perfectionism — and for the larger questions of who you are, what you value, and what you want your life to be about.

With over a decade of experience in acute clinical settings, a trauma-informed approach grounds this work. Our space is one of safety, attuned to how trauma shapes a person’s emotional, psychological, and physical wellbeing. My role is to ask the questions that help you identify, without judgment, what serves you and what you are ready to release. I would love to learn about you, answer any questions you have, and see if we would be a strong fit for doing this work together.
