The feeling of safety may seem elusive or perhaps nonexistent as one person in this big, unpredictable world. How does one navigate and cope with the constant changes of life? It may feel as though experiences like loss of motivation, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, or grief make you undeserving of feeling safe, whole, and loved again. You are not broken or undeserving. It is not selfish to need support. Sometimes you just need someone to remind you of this while you build yourself back up again.

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.

You don’t have to keep carrying this alone. If you’ve found your way here, chances are you’ve been living in survival mode for far too long — pushing through anxiety, depression, grief, past trauma, or relationship wounds while quietly wondering when it will finally feel easier to breathe. All of these burdens can leave you feeling disconnected, or overwhelmed. I help adults and teens to gently untangle so they can reconnect with themselves and others. My approach is compassionate, grounded, and collaborative. It is my honor to walk along side you in your unique healing journey. I look forward to speaking with you.

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.

Every child and teen deserves to feel safe, understood, and supported as they make sense of their experiences. In times of stress or uncertainty, young people often process what they're feeling through behavior, movement, and play. These expressions can be powerful entry points for connection, healing, and growth. I support highly sensitive children and adolescents with navigating trauma, anxiety, life transitions, overwhelming emotions, and more. I meet them with warmth, curiosity, and patience as they make meaning of their experiences at their own pace.

Accepting new clients! Everything may seem right on the outside, yet you may feel depressed, stuck, or disconnected on the inside. Old patterns keep repeating no matter how much you try to change, relationships may feel too complicated, or self-criticism is too loud. You want clarity, confidence, and fulfilling relationships, but you’re not sure how to get there. I'm a good therapist for you if you're self-reflective and motivated, want to understand yourself deeply, and move beyond survival mode. You want relief from symptoms, but also lasting change: stronger boundaries, healthier relationships, and a stronger sense of self-worth.
