Sarah Hodges
Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving clients in Washington, California, and Texas. I work with individuals, couples, and families facing a variety of challenges, including anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I believe therapy should be a collaborative process tailored to your unique needs and goals. My approach is warm, compassionate, and practical, drawing from evidence-based modalities to help you gain insight, develop effective coping strategies, and create meaningful change. Seeking support is an important step, and I strive to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, supported, and empowered. I look forward to helping you move toward the life and relationships you want.
I find that the therapeutic process is journey that I am honored to be on, my objective is to help my clients achieved their desired goals from treatment.
First session
Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and discuss what brought you to therapy. We'll explore your current concerns, relevant personal and family history, and what you hope to gain from the therapeutic process. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences. Together, we'll identify your strengths, clarify your goals, and begin developing a personalized treatment plan to support meaningful and lasting change.
Strengths
I believe one of the most important parts of therapy is creating a safe, supportive space where you can show up as your authentic self without fear of judgment. Having worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds and life experiences, I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs and goals. I strive to balance compassion with practicality, often incorporating humor and relatable, real-life examples to help make insights more meaningful and applicable to everyday life. My goal is to help you feel understood, empowered, and supported as you work toward lasting change.
Ideal clients
I work best with clients who are open to the therapeutic process and ready to explore meaningful change in their lives and relationships. I value meeting you where you are, while gently encouraging curiosity, reflection, and trying new perspectives and strategies along the way, even when that feels a bit uncomfortable. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I strive to create a supportive space where you can feel safe, seen, and engaged as you work toward your goals.
Treatment methods
Eclectic
I take an eclectic, client-centered approach to therapy, tailoring treatment to each person's unique needs, strengths, and goals. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, I draw from a variety of evidence-based modalities to create a therapeutic experience that resonates with you and supports meaningful change. My work is informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, mindfulness-based practices, and person-centered therapy. Together, we will identify the approaches that best support your growth, helping you build insight, develop practical coping strategies, and achieve your desired outcomes.
