Getting to know Sarah Girling

Hi there, I'm Sarah! Hey there! My name is Sarah Girling, and I am an LCSW with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Los Angeles. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, grief, and life transitions. I provide a safe, collaborative space, empowering you with tools to manage life's challenges while aligning mind, body, and spirit. My approach Using ACT, CBT, Trauma-Focused, and Compassion-Focused therapies, I help manage anxiety, process trauma, and improve self-esteem. I also incorporate Human Design and energy healing to align mind, body, and spirit, offering a holistic approach that fosters self-awareness, emotional healing, and personal growth. My focus Whatever challenges you’re facing, I’m here to meet you where you are. I am an experienced clinician with a background in hospice and prison work. My experience includes trauma, grief, end-of-life care, anxiety, depression, life transitions, life purpose, low self-esteem, and managing stress. I believe in making therapy an easy and collaborative experience. My communication style My goal is to create an open and safe environment where you can share your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. It takes courage to pursue a more fulfilling life, and I am here to support and empower you on that journey. Let’s work together to foster your healing and personal growth for lasting change. My journey to mental healthcare I knew I wanted to be a therapist since high school, after growing up with a parent with Borderline Personality Disorder. My childhood was filled with trauma, and while I didn’t fully understand it then, I knew I wanted to help others navigate their challenges. Hearing your stories of resilience and authenticity motivates me to live with purpose and gratitude. My goals for you I implement a collaborative approach by setting goals, as this experience is meant for you to be curious and motivated to make long-lasting and empowering changes.
