Hi there, I'm Sarah! Sarah Pemberton has been working as a therapist in the mental health field for 20+ years and specializes in working with adults dealing with a variety of life's challenges. During a time of emotional distress, finding the right therapist may feel overwhelming. Sarah will work to make the process of starting therapy as stress-free as possible, so the focus can be on your concerns. My approach Sarah’s therapeutic practice is rooted in a psychodynamic approach to building on clients’ internal resources, better understanding their reactions to challenges in their lives, and reshaping those reactions. Sarah also has extensive experience working with solution-focused therapy that will pull upon skills-based as well as relational approaches to helping clients meet their treatment goals. Her ability to assist clients who are at a crossroads within relationships, family dynamics, planning for the future, or any type of life change is very effective for her clients. My focus Sarah focus has been on clients dealing with a variety of life challenges, including but not limited to developing healthy relationships, challenges within family dynamics, coping with major life transitions, identity, development, difficulty regulating mood, depression, anxiety, stress, difficulty regulating mood, college mental health, sexual identity, infertility and career concerns. My communication style Sarah listens with genuine care and strives to understand the client’s emotional experience without trying to "fix" it prematurely. She works to help clients feel seen and heard. She knows it is important to communicate clearly and transparently to build trust and understanding in order to engage the client as an active partner in the therapeutic process. My journey to mental healthcare Sarah's desire to be in the helping field started in college when she volunteered for community organizations, and started student groups to support various communities.
