Getting to know Sarah Cardenas

I offer psychotherapy to manage anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, sexual difficulties, OCD, and more. We'll explore and implement skills to regulate mood, address stress in relationships, manage transitions, resolve shame, and process trauma. While working to identify solutions for current challenges, my clients also gain insight into the psychological impact of past and ongoing relationships, patterns, and experiences, and learn new skills. I work with adults to improve self-worth, address challenges around sex, immigrant experiences, and identity (privilege and discrimination). We'll work to understand the purpose your patterns, choices, and symptoms might serve, address underlying psychological challenges, develop the capacity to tolerate negative emotions, and create patterns for healthy relationships with yourself and others. I provide emotional safety and support by listening with acceptance.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I ask thoughtful, open-ended questions that leads towards problem solving. I apply evidence based counseling principles and methods in the diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and amelioration of psychological, emotional and/or mental conditions of individuals.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their feelings and discuss their concerns with a compassionate and qualified therapist. Together we'll will work to address any underlying issues and develop coping strategies that can help reduce symptoms and promote overall wellness.
