Sarah Lewis-Stowe
Welcome! I'm so glad you're considering taking some time to focus on you! So often we find ourselves struggling to steer through the messiness of life, and at times we all find ourselves navigating experiences that feel overwhelming, uncertain, or painful.
I take an integrative, holistic approach to therapy, incorporating somatic practices and mindfulness to support mind-body connection, emotional awareness, and lasting well-being.
Perhaps you're seeking to deepen your self-awareness, break free from patterns that no longer serve you, or navigate a significant life transition. Maybe you're hoping to strengthen your relationships or simply lighten the emotional weight you've been carrying. Whatever brings you here, you don't have to face it alone.
First session
In our first session we will begin with introducing ourselves and exploring some of your background and what brought you here. In a safe and compassionate space, we will work together to create an individualized plan to assist you in reaching your therapeutic goals. It is my goal to ensure that you feel heard and understood as we embark on this journey together.
Strengths
My approach to therapy is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and a commitment to understanding each client as a whole person. Having worked with children, adolescents, and adults across a variety of settings, I bring a breadth of experience and a flexible, individualized approach to care. My work integrates evidence-based therapeutic methods, attachment-informed perspectives, mindfulness, and somatic practices to support deeper self-awareness and the connection between mind, body, and emotions. I value providing culturally responsive care that honors each person's unique experiences, identity, and strengths. Through a collaborative and supportive therapeutic relationship, I help clients explore longstanding patterns, navigate life’s challenges, and cultivate greater self-trust, emotional resilience, and lasting personal growth.
Ideal clients
My ideal clients are those seeking a deeper understanding of themselves, hoping to move beyond patterns that no longer serve them, navigate life transitions, or build more meaningful relationships. They may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or weighed down by past experiences and are ready to explore the connection between their emotional and physical well-being. Through an integrative, holistic approach that incorporates evidence-based therapy, mindfulness, and somatic practices, I support clients in reconnecting with themselves, cultivating self-awareness, and fostering lasting growth, balance, and a greater sense of authenticity.
Treatment methods
Psychodynamic
This approach focuses on our innermost experiences that we may not be presently aware of because they hold residence in our subconscious or unconscious mind. The goal is to help us identify how your experiences have shaped and informed how you respond to your emotions, as well as your response to the world around you. When we can identify patterns that contribute to unwanted behaviors and distress, we can work together toward positive change.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
These practices are intended to promote healing by bringing awareness to tensions stored in the body. These tensions can cause automatic reactions that feed a cycle of dysregulation. Together, we can explore ways to help you feel more grounded and balance your nervous system to assist with emotional regulation, stress management and work toward cultivating inner peace.
Attachment-based
Our caregivers are the first people who teach us how to love and who help us form our own sense of self-worth. This method can help us in exploring how early childhood experiences with our caregivers can inform the lens through which we perceive ourselves as well as our connections to others in adulthood. Together, we can explore how this is impacting your experience and work toward re-framing and repair.
Integrative
One size certainly does not fit all. Integrative practices provide a holistic, personalized approach with interventions tailored to suit your evolving needs. This approach honors the unique and individual experiences you have had, and allows me to utilize various psychotherapeutic techniques to customize your treatment. The goal is to promote exploration and growth through deepening self-understanding and to work together to facilitate change. Some psychological modalities I pull from include CBT, DBT, psychodynamic, person-centered, trauma-informed therapy, narrative, compassion-focused and solution-focused treatment.
