Sarah Meteer
Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this information. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the lovely state of Michigan. I earned my bachelor's degree in 2001 from Central Michigan University, Fire Up Chips! I then earned my master's degree in counseling in 2010 from Siena Heights University.
I believe in slowing down and creating space to process why the counseling appointment was made.
I believe that one's courage to seek counseling is a big step in the healing process. As a counselor, I will provide a supportive and empathetic environment. I feel honored to be able to be a part of this journey in helping others in a compassionate and caring way to live a life that they desire.
First session
In our first session my clients can expect to feel heard when telling me about their concerns and struggles. We will work together to establish treatment goals and to explore the best way to continue their healing journey. It is my hope that my clients will start to look forward to their sessions and find it to be an emotional and healthy release.
Strengths
My greatest strength is my ability to actively listen to my clients without judgement. I believe in slowing down and creating space to process why the counseling appointment was made. I have over 23 years of experience counseling adults. I use various counseling techniques to assist my client's individual needs.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with all clients ages 18 and older that are seeking a supportive, attentive and empathetic counselor. Taking the time to talk about how we feel is crucial in anyone's life and even more important when we have been through difficult or unimaginable struggles. I will offer the space and time for each of my clients to process what they are feeling and thinking.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT focuses on the client's daily life challenges and provides positive coping skills. CBT is effective in helping clients make significant improvements in their daily lives. CBT has been proven helpful when treating depression and anxiety.
Compassion-Focused
CFT helps bring awareness to thinking habits by focusing on compassion. CFT shines light on the importance of kinder ways of thinking towards oneself and others. CFT provides insight to the connection between our brains and emotions and promotes emotional and mental healing.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing boosts the desire to change a particular behavior while actively listening, expressing empathy and empowering the client.
Eclectic
Eclectic therapy allows the therapist to use a variety of psychotherapy to adapt to the specific needs of each client depending on the client's motivation, treatments goals, problems and expectations.
Narrative
Narrative therapy encourages clients to retell their story in an empowering way. It helps clients to separate from their problems by re-telling or re-authoring their life story. This type of therapy focuses on the client's strengths, building confidence and self-worth.
