Rebecca Kalos
Hi there! I'm Sara. I’m the owner of HONEST Health Center. Is everything becoming… too much? We all face challenges and obstacles that can hinder our personal growth and prevent us from operating on our highest vibrational frequency. In today's fast-paced and stressful world, it's easy to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of ourselves. Frankly, we may even feel lost. Therapy offers a confidential space for emotional expression, self-exploration, and improved mental health. I am a licensed therapist trained to work with individuals, couples, children, and families. As a holistic practitioner, I use a range of techniques to help individuals understand their symptoms and foster a greater sense of self-awareness. My goal is for my clients to better understand the connections between their body, mind, spirit, and relationships and how these elements play a role in mental health. All aspects of 'the self' are explored in my practice. Whether in-person or telehealth, we can work together to create long-lasting healing. _______________________________________________________________________ *Note: my caseload is full for couples. Couples will be waitlisted for the time-being.* ****Call me for in-person scheduling if your preferred time is not available on the calendar!****
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
My sessions focus on the exploration of experiences using specific models of therapy. We may focus on the "here and now" or we may dive into your past to work-through unresolved issues. You'll learn to understand and share your feelings and needs, improve communication to handle everyday problems without dwelling on negativity, and cope with stress. All sessions are tailored to your specific treatment plan goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My philosophy of treatment is my biggest strength. I consider myself a holistic, strength-based and trauma-informed practitioner. A strength-based approach to therapy focuses on identifying and utilizing the strengths and resources of individuals, rather than concentrating only on weaknesses (or what professionals consider 'pathology'). Using this approach, I believe that everyone has inherent strengths and capabilities that can be used to promote positive change and personal growth. Flexibility is key, and I adapt my approach to suit the unique needs and goals of each client I work with. To be trauma-informed means my practice approach is to promote a sense of safety, empowerment, and collaboration. Bad things happen in life and it can be hard to process them safely. It's my job to ensure that happens by using the core values of trauma-informed care: clear communication, empowerment, cultural sensitivity, and resilience. I have three primary areas of specialization: 1) Trauma: I've treated trauma-related disorders (PTSD, C-PTSD, Bipolar, addiction, BPD, etc.) at all levels of care, which has allowed me the opportunity to learn what I can best offer my clients. Successful treatment often involves a combination of evidence-based therapies, a strong therapeutic alliance, and mutual commitment to the healing process. 2) Life Transitions: When I entered the field of psychotherapy, my first goal was to work with children and adolescents. I've since gained experience treating individuals aged 18 months - 95 years old. I also had the privilege of working as a clinical supervisor for an outpatient mental health clinic before opening my own practice which exposed me to just about everything. My goal when working with all clients is to support their mental health and well-being by providing a safe space for expression, fostering their emotional growth, and equipping them with coping skills for challenges they may face as they develop using evidence-based treatment modalities. One thing I've learned is that humans struggle with change--whether that change is positive or negative. And, ultimately, therapy can be a safe space to navigate all of the messy, unpredictable, and complicated phases of life. 3) Mood disorders: In my experience, treating mood disorders can be a challenge for some professionals because the presentation of symptoms can vary widely among individuals. I've treated mood-related issues in children, adolescents, and adults at the PHP, IOP, and

VirtualMy treatment methods
Strength-Based
A strength-based therapy approach emphasizes recognizing and harnessing the strengths and resources within individuals, rather than solely focusing on weaknesses. In employing this approach, I firmly believe in the inherent strengths and capabilities of everyone, which can be leveraged for fostering positive change and personal development. Flexibility is paramount to my practice, as I tailor my approach to accommodate the distinct needs and aspirations of each client.
Trauma Informed Care
As a trauma-informed practitioner, my focus lies in fostering an environment of safety, empowerment, and collaboration. Life's challenges can be difficult to navigate, especially when dealing with trauma. My role is to facilitate safe processing through the fundamental principles of trauma-informed care: transparent communication, empowerment, cultural awareness, and resilience.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used and evidence-based therapeutic approach that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT is grounded in the idea that our thoughts and unique perceptions influence our emotions and behaviors, and by changing negative thought patterns, individuals can change their emotional responses and behaviors. I use CBT in my practice to alleviate symptoms for a variety of disorders in both children and adults.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an important and valuable approach for several reasons-- particularly in the treatment of individuals with emotion regulation difficulties, self-destructive/harming behaviors, and other mental health issues. I use DBT to help my clients address emotional dysregulation and accept themselves as they are while working towards positive change.
Narrative
Narrative therapy tends to be a lesser-known therapeutic approach that focuses on the stories people internalize about their lives. Narrative therapy is based on the idea that individuals construct their understanding of reality through the stories they create, and these stories shape their identity, relationships, and experiences. As a professional, I use narrative therapy because it is a collaborative and client-centered approach that acknowledges that 'the problem is the problem;' no one person is "the problem."
