Sarah helped me deal with some very deep issues and cut ties with several toxic relationships and situations in my life. I couldn’t have come out the other side without her extremely raw, blunt, yet wise and loving guidance. She is very down to earth, accepting, and see things in a matter of fact way while understanding your emotions fully. She is a strong leader and has been a massive blessing in my life. I highly reccomend!

More about Sarah

- LMHC
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida and have been providing therapy since 2012. I have had the pleasure of working with many populations, including inpatient, psychosocial rehabilitation, private practice, substance abuse treatment programs, and correctional facilities. I have a passion for working with people that have experienced trauma, and utilize EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy regularly, along with other various modalities of treatment, including CBT and DBT, to best assist patients in feeling safe, secure, and loved.
I am very down to earth. I understand how life can throw curve balls and appreciate the courage that my clients have in tackling these issues head on. I am humbled daily by the people that I work with in the best of ways. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one that is very individual to each person, and our treatment plans will be tailored to that individuality.
I look forward to working with you and assisting on your healing journey!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
