Hi! I'm Sarah and I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. I am originally from Massachusetts and received my Graduate degree from Northereastern University. I had practiced in Massachusetts for 15 years mainly working with teens, and adult women. I have worked in environemnts such as a residential schools, In Home Therapy, and in private practice. I mostly worked with trauma survivors, clients experiencing anxiety and depression, and those going through life transitions. I moved to Florida two years ago and continue to also hold my Massachusetts license in addition to my Florida license.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we do brief introductions, and at the clients comfort level, talk about their history, past experience with counseling, etc. We will then talk further about what brings them to counseling and things they would like to get out of this process.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked in the field for 17 years, I feel I am able to read where a clients comfort level is at, and when they are ready to take next steps in the work we are doing. The overall important thing is that the client feels comfortable and I want to ensure this type of environment. I have a strong background in DBT (a therapy module) and I often use mindfulness along with a mind body approach to best treat clients and am confident in this area.
