Do you feel overwhelmed by life’s demands—perhaps you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, feeling stuck, unsure of how to move forward, or struggling with a sense of self. Are you working with relationship difficulties, work-life balance, or simply not feeling like you’re fulfilling your full potential? Many of us feel like we’re just going through the motions, without ever feeling "at peace" or "present."

Feelings of depression, fear, anxiety, confusion, anger, grief, trauma, and other struggles beset us all at times. I believe creating an environment where everyone can feel safe and heard is vital, and cultivating a therapeutic alliance to be alongside individuals as a nonjudgmental support in the journey to wholeness and independence. I listen for unique needs and preferences and utilize an eclectic and integrated approach to working with the whole person. With empathy and compassion I will also ask challenging questions to explore ideas, new ways of thinking and understanding, and guide intuitive discovery for meaningful change.

My work centers on trauma and how people adapt to it. Recently, I have felt called to provide a safe haven for people who feel oppressed in our increasingly intolerant (and often violent) society, such as people of color and women. I know what it is like to be alone and feel unseen - even by family and friends. Have you been trading your authenticity for what you think is safety? That can be a dangerous situation. Let's get you back in line with your core values so you can start working toward the life you deserve.

You’re successful, driven, and capable — but your brain, relationships, or energy don’t always cooperate. I offer short-term, focused therapy and intensives designed for adults who want results without long-term commitment. These services are self-pay, flexible, and designed for busy professionals who want private, high-impact support. Relief is possible — even in a single session. Many clients describe arriving “stuck, overextended, or burned out” — and leaving calmer, clearer, and empowered.

Looking for a therapist who gets how hard it is to juggle high-pressure demands, strained relationships, and the need to keep it all together? I work with professionals, leaders, and couples who are stuck in cycles they can’t think their way out of — people who are ready for real change, not surface-level support.

Hi! My name is Sara Brisbois and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I counsel using an integrative and interpersonal approach. I believe everyone has things that come up throughout life that they need help working through. I also believe that a therapeutic relationship alone can be incredibly healing and helpful. By creating that therapeutic relationship, I am then able to personalize therapy to best suit each client and meet them where they are through a variety of approaches.

Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT) Therapists
What should I expect from rational emotive behavior therapy?
The therapist will work with the individual to recognize rigid thought patterns that sabotage goals and set them back. The objective is to identify, challenge and reframe negative thoughts and enable an individual to understand that they possess control over their emotions and their behavior. This therapy often emphasizes the use of reasoning and self-direction.

Is rational emotive behavior therapy effective?
Rational emotive behavior therapy is evidence-based and is highly effective. It helps a person reframe self-defeating or catastrophizing thoughts and gives them tools to approach a range of circumstances they may encounter post-therapy as well. REBT can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.

When do I know if I need treatment with rational emotive behavior therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with rigid, unreasonable thoughts that dwell in negativity, they may feel stuck. A rational emotive behavior therapist can help a person examine and change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior. This concise and concrete therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.

How long does rational emotive behavior therapy last?
REBT therapy treatment is short-term and focused in nature. It can last for a set number of sessions, ending within a few weeks or months. Like any type of therapy, however, sessions depend on the individual, as well as the severity of their condition or problem. The individual may wish to ask the therapist about typical progress and how long they expect treatment to take.
