Hi, I'm Sarah. Carrying trauma, service-related stress, or the weight of transitioning back to civilian life can feel incredibly lonely. Whether you face PTSD, hypervigilance, or burnout, your pain deserves a safe place to land. I provide a compassionate, veteran-affirming space in-person in Columbia, SC, and via telehealth across SC, FL, AR, DE, LA, and VT. I am proudly in-network with TRICARE and the VA Community Care Network (VACCN) to keep your care accessible. You don't have to navigate this wilderness alone—please reach out whenever you feel ready to connect.
Our sessions offer collaborative therapy tailored to your goals and the demands of military culture. We focus on root causes, practical coping skills, and calming a nervous system trained to stay on high alert. My approach blends somatic and cognitive tools to help you process moral injury, navigate identity shifts, and reclaim your well-being.
If you have been stuck in tactical survival mode, the ways you've coped kept you safe, but they don't have to be your only tools. Imagine waking up without that heavy layer of dread or constant guarding, or navigating civilian life with a calm confidence. Together, we will create space for new growth, deeper connection, and genuine ease in daily life.
Call or Sarah Zell now for a free 15 minute consultation - (854) 225-3371
