“Sarah helped me overcome enormous amount of stuggles I had as an adult living with adhd, she was willing to help me on small troubles I had in between our sessions and her support and teaching extended sessions because I was able to implement tools and strategies to cope with tough times on my own, by learning these beneficial and healthy habits (maybe not from first try, but I did??) and implementing them in my life, this was a lot of work from both of us but I think I'm at way better place in my life than I was before therapy”

Getting to know Sara Fierro

My journey into the mental health field is deeply personal as a neurodivergent adult. I experienced various traumatic events throughout my childhood and early adulthood, which motivated me to break the generational cycle. When I sought treatment to address those experiences, I found a severely limited mental health system with undereducated providers, leaving people in need grossly underserved. I was outraged on behalf of all who had come before me, but I used that frustration as motivation to be the change I wanted to see. I became an LMFT and LPCC so I could use my empathy and genuine desire to help others, and I am determined to help you recognize your own strength and potential while overcoming past barriers. I am currently pursuing a PsyD in Applied Clinical Psychology at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, with an expected graduation in June 2028. My previously completed degrees include: Master of Arts (M.A.) in Marriage and Family Therapy/Professional Clinical Counseling from Brandman University, Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Human Services, Family and Child Services from the University of Phoenix, and Associate of Arts (A.A.) in Psychology from the University of Phoenix. I have been working in the mental health field since 2015. I hold dual licensure as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). Over the years, I have gained extensive experience through various roles, progressing from a Mental Health Specialist and Family Specialist to a Therapist, Clinical Supervisor, and currently, a Clinical Director. I treat children, adolescents, adults, and couples however my clients most commonly identify as neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+. In treatment, I utilize my dual licensure background to look at how your individual, relational, and developmental issues impact your daily functioning.

What should a new client know about working with you?

When working with me, it is important to know that I want to create an environment that is safe and supportive and helps you meet your needs. I want you to get the most out of your time in therapy. I attend frequent training to continue learning and building competencies in therapeutic interventions, cultural competency, ethics, and many other areas of the field. I believe we can never stop learning and I enjoy every opportunity to grow as a provider.

In-network insurances

Sara Fierro, LMFT has 50+ in-network plans.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
