Getting to know Sara McCracken
Are you weighed down with feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression? Everyone faces difficult times and upsetting emotions at some point. I am here to help. Your life is unique, and your story matters. My goal as a therapist is to hold a compassionate and non-judgmental space for you and support you in moving beyond the places that can make you feel stuck. I can help you understand and explore your inner world and how you relate to your past and your fears with curiosity, kindness, and courage. By becoming aware of the negative and often unrealistic thoughts that hinder our potential, we can engage in healthier thinking patterns, ultimately allowing for positive change and even thriving to occur.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's in Social Work from California State University, San Marcos. I work with adults struggling with life's stressors, bringing an integrated approach that allows processing experiences and feelings in a safe and comfortable manner. My intention as a therapist is to provide space for you to feel heard, help you discover your strengths, identify what you want, and learn the tools to move forward on your healing journey.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I support clients with expanding their understanding of themselves in a shame-free environment. Goals and needs can change throughout the therapeutic process so treatment expectancies are fluid. Based on particular needs, I support clients with setting and reaching goals in an attainable and realistic way that honors readiness for change. I encourage clients to share what they are comfortable with and I challenge clients with respect and kindness.
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.
