Sarah Bonilla, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
I was first introduced to the therapy world as a college student working as a receptionist at a mental health clinic. I saw firsthand the changes clients made over the course of their treatment and I became fascinated with what therapy could offer. It was from these experiences that I decided to pursue graduate studies in marriage and family therapy. Therapy is hard work! It is a great privilege to engage in the work with my clients and I use my unique style to bring humor, foster meaning and purpose, and find practical ways to feel better. I believe strongly in the therapeutic relationship as a vehicle for change and growth. I am currently training to provide emotionally-focused individual therapy (EFIT) and strongly believe in attachment science. I am in the process of learning more about internal family systems (IFS) as well. I am excited to be able to offer these unique approaches to the clients I work with. In addition to ongoing continuing education, I frequently collaborate with other providers to help strengthen my clinical expertise, increase cultural sensitivity, and prevent my own burnout. I am excited to provide telehealth. I think it has allowed greater access to therapy and it has allowed clients to find therapists who are uniquely qualified to help them. For example, telehealth has allowed me to connect with clients who are looking for an LDS therapist who takes insurance. It is great to be able to serve specific communities in this capacity.

In-network insurances

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.
