Do you ever feel like you understand your patterns, but they still don’t change? Or notice yourself shutting down when things start to feel overwhelming? A lot of the struggles we face, especially in relationships, aren’t just mental, they live in the body and nervous system, shaped by past experience.

The need for belonging—within ourselves, our relationships, and our communities—is a fundamental human experience we all deserve. Yet, in our search for belonging, we can sometimes feel stuck, rigid, or constrained. I hold this belief close to heart as I foster an inclusive space for individuals, couples, and families to feel seen, valued, and empowered in discovering a deeper sense of belonging within themselves and their relationships. Together, we identify patterns underlying relational conflict, process emotions, and harness strengths to cultivate new ways of giving and receiving love.

In our busy modern lives, we can be stretched thin trying to attend to various responsibilities while being given little time to attend to ourselves and our relationships, which can lead to getting stuck, feeling overwhelmed, or burnt out.

In working with me, you will be allowed to slow down and breathe, allow yourself to understand your experience and emotions as well as those of your loved ones, and create unique solutions that work for you in your life.

Trusting a therapist with thoughts and emotions we aren't comfortable facing ourselves can seem embarrassing and perhaps even terrifying. Therapy is a difficult process and I work to face those challenges with my clients head on. My mission is to help empower my clients to create positive life changes. I have been called blunt and no nonsense by my clients. Clients also say I have a calm demeanor that provides a balance to this approach. One client described my therapy style as putting puzzle pieces together to gain a clear picture of their thoughts and emotions.

Hi, I'm Sarah Prater, a therapist who works with children, tweens/teens, adults, individuals, couples, and families. With children, I use child-centered play therapy to help them express themselves in ways that feel natural and safe. For older clients, I draw from a blend of narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support healing, growth, and meaningful change.
I believe therapy should be a collaborative, empowering experience, and I strive to create a warm and engaging environment where every client feels seen and supported.
