More about Sara Simpson, LCP
Hello! I have been seeing clients for over 20 years. I have spent many years as a director at a graduate school, training students to become therapists. I am passionate about wellbeing, self-awareness, and authenticity. I try to help my clients increase all of those in their lives.
My approach
I typically work with clients struggling with stress, women's issues, and/or anxiety, or clients who want to get extra support with daily or work-related stress. I use a highly effective approach called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and, when appropriate, holistic approaches such as mindfulness, meditation, etc. I put a lot of emphasis on self-care and well-being, which is what I wrote my dissertation on and give workshops on.
My focus
I wrote my dissertation on stress and self-care. I often work with clients dealing with life stressors (work, family, relationships, etc.) and try to problem-solve ways to reduce stress. Many of my clients have anxiety, and so often sessions are about reducing stress or anxiety, and increasing overall well-being.
My communication style
The dynamic in the session is warm and supportive.
My journey to mental healthcare
I have always been fascinated by insight, self-awareness, perspective, and spirituality. It was a natural path to create a career in it and share with others something that I value so much in my personal life.
My goals for you
Usually, if you are coming to therapy, you have a goal in mind, ie, something you need to address and get support with. In our first few sessions, we will discuss what is happening overall in your life at the moment and what brought you to therapy, and set up a plan to ameliorate stressors or improve challenging situations.
My first session with you
In the first session, I gather information from you, such as what brought you into therapy and any other personal background, to give me a full picture. We also go over some basic housekeeping, like confidentiality.
