I'm the founder & owner of Compassion-Based Happiness, LLC & I work to help you experience greater peace, happiness & compassion. I've done over 10,000 sessions & apply compassion, empathy, strength-building, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, REBT, Solution-Focused, EMDR, Narrative & SSP techniques. I provide in-person & Telehealth sessions. I create personalized happiness & self-compassion plans to figure out exactly how to get you where you want to be in how you experience the world:) I'm able to provide lower-cost session options for telehealth than in-person. My client load is full, but I hope to accept new clients early October 2024.
I'm an LMFT, currently completing my 2nd doctorate, working on my 3rd masters degree & the author of 2 books. I hold a PhD, 2 Master's degrees, a clinical hypnotherapist & yoga/mindfulness instructor. I'm also an Adjunct Professor at USF & author. Testimonials can be found on www.drsaraspowart.com and www.authorsaraspowart.com.
I provide traditional 1-hour therapy sessions, 2 -3 hour intensives & outdoor nature therapy. I don't want finances to be an obstacle for anyone to receive treatment and am happy to work with your individual circumstances. I believe the most important thing is to improve your life situation. I can be contacted at www.drsaraspowart.com with any questions:)
