Sarah Burkhead

Hi everyone, I’m a Therapist with 11 years of experience, two Master’s degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, and a Bachelor’s from UC Berkeley. I have an absolute passion for working with people who deal with chronic pain/chronic health conditions, women facing infertility struggles, people who are experiencing issues in their sex life or their relationship or exploring alternative types of romantic relationships, and those suffering from over-worrying and anxiety. I am LGBTQ friendly and provide a safe space. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and playing towards your strengths.

Being a Therapist and knowing my career helps others feel less alone, more validated supported and genuinely heard brings me happiness.

My approach is grounded in helping you understand your thought patterns, where they may be a disservice to you and how to change them in order to create behavioral change. We’ll set clear goals together and break them down into doable steps, and I’ll be here to encourage you rather than judge you if things feel hard along the way. I also make a point of highlighting the strengths you already have and reminding you of them on the days you forget. Supporting people in feeling less alone, more understood, and genuinely heard is the part of this work that brings me joy. Please note: I don’t provide couples counseling, but I do offer individual therapy focused on relationship concerns.
