Meet Sara

Sara Whalen, LCSW
Founder & CEO
*Sara is currently only accepting EMDR and PRT intensive clients*
​
I have experienced feeling unheard within my team of medical doctors, feeling as though I had no control over choices or decisions. I don’t want others to feel this way. I want to partner with my clients and listen to what you want, YOU know your experience and overall goals.
Together, we will create a new awareness and understanding of the impact your illness has had on your quality of life and how this has created your current internal narrative. We will work on soothing, accepting, and healing the nervous system to enable you to feel a sense of control and safety within your body. We can incorporate a simple tool-set to support lasting change and increase your quality of life while minimizing pain.
​
I believe in working with every client as holistically as possible (mind and body). I use and promote evidence-based treatment approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MSBR), along with somatic based techniques.
