Terryann Sanders received her master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from San Jose State University in 2001. She began her training at The Giarretto Institute, a sexual abuse treatment facility, working with victims and offenders and coordinating individual and group services for incarcerated teens. Terry moved on to working with children in a school setting, and a private practice specializing in psychological assessments for bariatric surgery, where she became interested in eating disorders. In 2006 she completed the eating disorder certificate program at JFK University. Today, she has a private practice in San Jose specializing in eating disorders and sexual abuse. She supervises two interns who work with her in private practice providing individual, family and group counseling to adults and children.

Prior to Terry’s career change, she worked in the corporate industry for 15 years. In her role as operations manager she gained experience in managing personnel, creating and implementing training programs, and budgeting and staffing. While working her way through college she worked part time as an office manager for several small businesses, gaining experience in administration and bookkeeping. She currently does the bookkeeping for her husband’s solar company, as well as her own private practice.

Throughout her years as an intern, CAMFT was a valuable resource for Terry that she utilized often. When the CFO position became available in March 2007, she was thrilled to have an opportunity to give back to the CAMFT organization by serving on the board of directors.
