Ms. Sara Bates is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Supervision Designation. she is trained in Trauma-Informed Care for All, Family Therapy, Perinatal Therapy, Sex-Positive Therapy, Pleasure Education and Intimacy Coaching, Couples Counseling, CBT, DBT, and IFS; treating both adolescents and adult populations. Reiki Master/Teacher certified, for stress relief practices and coping strategies.
I believe in meeting clients where they are. That means honoring your lived experiences, adapting treatment to your current emotional capacity, and working at a pace that feels safe and manageable. Therapy should never feel like a performance or a pressure—it should feel like a process of returning to yourself, one layer at a time.
I came into this work with a deep belief in the human capacity for growth—even when life feels unbearably hard. Whether you need someone to help you problem-solve, process, grieve, or reflect, I adapt my tone and tools to what you need most in the moment.
