Getting to know Sara Gilbert

Hi there, I'm Sara! My name is Sara Gilbert, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. I work with adults and adolescents via Telehealth and specialize in relationship issues, anxiety, grief/loss, and increasing self-empowerment. I use Strength-based, Humanistic, and Mindfulness approaches to help you create an inner union and learn a deeper sense of freedom and joy. My approach I believe we are born with everything we need for optimal recovery. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques tailored to each client’s needs, including Strength-based, Humanistic, Mindfulness, and Psychodynamic methods. These approaches guide you through the healing process toward relief. I also honor the powerful mind-body connection, helping you uncover unconscious patterns to become more present. My focus Whether your challenges involve relationships, anxiety, grief/loss, confidence, or childhood traumas, I encourage you to tap into your strengths and internal belief systems. Together, we will locate solid coping mechanisms and learn how to release past and present blockages, fostering transformation and peace. My communication style I am warm, compassionate, and a great listener. I provide levity but can also be direct and challenge you to let go of old ideas and behaviors that no longer serve you. I am supportive and encouraging as you relearn unconditional self-love, forgiveness, and acceptance. I guide you on a journey of self-discovery, like a detective helping you connect the dots of your life to find more meaning. My journey to mental healthcare Like a great masseuse, I believe you either have that skill or you don’t. For as long as I can remember, dating back to childhood, it has been my life’s purpose and passion to help as many individuals as possible in their healing process of expansion and resolution.
