From a very young age, I always knew I wanted to help people; at some point, I even wanted to end world hunger. Seeing people in pain or despair is something I dislike, which is why I do what I do. But this process is a collaboration, and together we can identify your inner conflict and help you walk through to the other side of pain where you can find your joy and passion again.

Fast forward to the present time and here I am living my dream as a therapist. My experience as a therapist has been rewarding as well as providing me with life lessons and self-growth. My mental health has always been a priority. I practice habits on a daily basis that I share and assist my clients with.

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!****

Anxiety. Depression. Relationship problems. We all have experienced it from time to time. If you feel overwhelmed by negative, unwanted feelings or believe you are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or any combination of stress that has impacted your peace of mind or disrupted your relationships, then we would be a good fit. You are certainly not alone in your struggle and deserve to recapture the peace of mind and joy that escapes you these days. As such, my primary goal is to help you shift from feeling good to living well. I am Dr. Walter Prather, and I can help you live better. I promise. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Board-Certified Behavior Analyst with over 25 years of experience. I apply the power of compassion and understanding to help adults and adolescents achieve their best selves. I view therapy as a safe place to explore mental health struggles or challenges while simultaneously helping you get out of your way. My work draws heavily from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), in combination with the solution-focused approach therapy (SFT), and most effectively treats addiction, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, and individuals or couples experiencing relationship or parenting difficulties. Regarding anxiety and depression, the ACT stance is that thoughts, private events, and feelings are not problematic in and of themselves; only when we respond to them in rigid, inflexible ways, such as control and avoidance, do they have disturbing or unsettling effects. Through ACT, you will benefit from being more psychologically present, more in touch with your values, more able to make room for the inevitable pain of life, more able to take effective action in the face of emotional discomfort, and more able to appreciate each moment of your life.
