Getting to know Sahara Omar

I'm a dedicated mental health professional with a deep commitment to helping individuals and couples heal from trauma, PTSD, and other mental health challenges. I hold a Doctor of Marriage and Family Therapy from Loma Linda University Behavioral Health Institute and a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northcentral University. I use empathetic and evidence-based therapy via telehealth, making it accessible and convenient for clients. My background in trauma-focused therapy ensures that clients receive the most effective care tailored to their unique needs.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach to therapy is holistic, semi-direct and client-centered, focusing on creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment. I utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, solution focused, narrative therapy, and trauma-informed care, to address the unique needs of each client.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Clients can expect to leave sessions with a deeper understanding of their mental health, practical tools for managing their symptoms, and a renewed sense of hope. Through our sessions, clients will gain insights into their behaviors and thought patterns, learn effective coping strategies, and build a stronger foundation for emotional well-being.
