" I hold multiple identities of working class, BIPOC-female-presenting, and a mother of an 11-year-old adopted child with special needs and a dog-mom.
Hello..my name is Sarah Ann Jimenez, LCSw, PhD...my style is very informal and relational. I believe that clients can be their own best friends and achieving a state of "loving self" is best embarked on through a trusting rapport with one other individual (therapist/confidant/mentor/ally/advocate) who is more invested in the client's success than in their own agenda/ego, to be correct. I use CBT, guided play therapy, narrative therapy, EMDR, and psychodynamic approaches with my clients. I utilize a feminist/racial trauma lens towards healing and empowerment.

I work with children, adolescents and adults, helping to support them and to make meaning as they respond to life's challenges, such as childbirth, adoption, loss of a child, death of a family member, infertility, early childhood trauma, and other life transitions.

As a psychotherapist, I act as your collaborator, witness and guide, and bring curiosity and warmth to your exploration. Trauma, past wounding and internalized negative beliefs can make it difficult to know what you need from moment to moment. Therefore, in session, I support you in cultivating self-agency so that you may become familiar with what is right for you at a pace that is both constructive and safe. I am here to help you navigate difficult transitions, past and new traumas, grief and loss, shifts in identity, and a desire to change patterns in relationship on your path towards fulfilling connections to self and others.

I work with children, teens and adults who are dealing with trauma, stress, sadness, or questions about who they are and what’s next.
In our first few sessions, we’ll get to know each other, figure out where you’re at, where you want to go, and how we can get there. Therapy isn’t always easy, but I’ll bring positive energy and support — and I believe we can have some fun along the way too! After meeting with me, clients feel better able to cope and on the path to being their best selves.

I hold therapy as a human relationship rooted in care, respect, and remembering our freedom. I work especially well with queer and gender-expansive people, those with creative or spiritual practices, and those with significant trauma in their personal or collective lineages.
Together, we will gently explore painful and stuck places so that we can invite understanding, compassion, and new possibilities. We will look critically at systems of oppression and their impact on you, and will tend to the grief, shame, critical voices, and unmet needs that often underlie self-harming and self-neglecting behaviors and relationship conflicts.

While I address many personal and situational challenges, my approach is especially effective for ADHD, procrastination, work-related lack of clarity, relationship dissatisfaction and existential anxiety. Rooted in positive psychology, my work includes 1. virtual sessions focused on creative self-observation, and 2. Somatic manual work for bodily relaxation and awareness when appropriate. I work with people who want to learn what it means to observe themselves. I sometimes pick up where other psychotherapists may have left off: I aim to teach you FlOW states amid your everyday life.
