Getting to know Sarah Deats

Hi there, I'm Sarah! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Board Approved Clinical Supervisor dedicated to supporting individuals on their unique healing journeys. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, you’re not alone. Life’s challenges—whether trauma, loss, grief, or complex emotions—can leave deep wounds that are hard to navigate on your own. My approach As an EMDR-trained and trauma-informed therapist, I offer a compassionate, safe space where you can process pain, explore your emotions, and move toward healing at your own pace. My approach integrates EMDR, person-centered care, dynamic CBT,/DBT, and grief work to create a personalized path forward that fits your needs and goals. My focus I work with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by trauma, stress, or tough relationship patterns. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, burnout, or personality disorders and want real tools to heal and grow. My communication style I’m down-to-earth, warm, and direct—I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation, not a lecture. I bring honesty, compassion, and humor into the room so clients feel both supported and challenged in the right balance. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be yourself, explore tough topics, and still feel encouraged. I’ll celebrate your wins, sit with you in the hard moments, and keep our work focused, collaborative, and human. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because I’ve always been drawn to helping people through life’s toughest seasons. Over the years, I’ve worked in a variety of settings—from community mental health to correctional facilities to private practice—and each experience deepened my passion for supporting people who feel overlooked, stuck, or weighed down by life. I was especially drawn to this work because I believe everyone deserves a chance to heal, grow, and create a life that feels meaningful.
