Hello! My name is Sara Viola, LCSW. I’m a licensed psychotherapist specializing in trauma-informed and integrative therapy for individuals experiencing anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and the lasting impact of past experiences, including complex trauma (C-PTSD). I take an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from multiple frameworks to meet each person where they’re at. My work focuses on helping clients process and work through trauma, understand how past experiences continue to shape present patterns, and shift internal narratives that no longer feel supportive or aligned.
The therapeutic relationship is central to my work. I believe meaningful change happens when you feel safe enough to be honest, supported enough to explore your experiences, and met with understanding rather than judgment. I focus on creating a space that feels genuine and collaborative, where you can show up as yourself and feel truly understood.
I see therapy as a space for healing, reflection, and meaning-making. My approach is holistic, with attention to the mind-body connection and the nervous system. My work supports clients in processing past experiences, developing emotional regulation, and strengthening self-esteem and self-trust.
