Getting to know Sara Jackson
I have been in the social service field for over 14 years and have provided counseling, case management, and therapeutic services for over ten years. I earned a Master of Arts degree in Counseling from Loyola Marymount University with a specialization in Multicultural Counseling. I also earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Professional Counseling from Amridge University and hold a License in Professional Clinical Counseling (LPCC). I have a special interest in working with individuals and families who have experienced domestic violence, trauma, abuse, and/or neglect. I have training and certification in domestic violence counseling and was a domestic violence counselor for over three years. I specialize in relationship and support building, skill-building, and assisting with access to resources.
My approach
In addition, I have experience working with individuals, couples, families, and populations of all ages addressing issues such as anxiety, stress management, anger management, depression, relationship and family issues, coping skills, and goal setting. I am excited to continue helping people meet their goals.
My focus
I work well with clients who are motivated to establish and meet goals. Making sustainable change takes time, and I am ready to practice patience with clients as we work toward goals together.
My communication style
As a therapist, I tend to take the client's lead. I am an active listener striving to promote open and expressive communication in the therapeutic relationship.

Sara has been very, very helpful in giving me the tools and support to unpack a lot of the events that lead to my C-PSTD. I really appreciate the mix of structure and flexibility she provides in our sessions, adjusting in real time how we'll spend the hour, depending on how my week went and what I need to talk about most.
