Hi There, I'm Sara! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). I was licensed in 2018 and have been working in mental health for over 10 years! I am based in Los Angeles/Orange County California and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I have specialized experience working with culturally diverse adults struggling with various mental health conditions or those hoping for self-growth. I also help couples who want to develop deeper intimacy, increase emotional safety, and communicate more effectively with one another.
My specialties are in helping individuals and couples 1) reduce perfectionism/self-criticism (particularly due to high-stress work environments), 2) heal from trauma, 3) set healthy boundaries, and 4) better manage women's health-related issues (if applicable), 5) identify and manage mental health disorders (if applicable), 6) improve quality of relationship
I'm relaxed and informal (sometimes a bit of humor helps us open up to deeper issues). I'll also challenge you to go deeper. I want to dig into the topics bringing you in instead of staying on the surface.
Take the first step to help. Call or Sara Smith now - (443) 323-2319

My approach to therapy is gentle, supportive, yet direct and down-to-earth. I use EMDR, CBT, DBT/ACT, and attachment-based approaches to help build skills to feel better in the moment and help it stay that way. I would love to connect and help you cultivate the safe space within, through which you can live out a values-based lifestyle and feel better.
