Getting to know Sarah Pettengill

Hi there, I'm Sarah! I am Sarah Pettengill, holding a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Simpson University and licensed as a California state therapist, LMFT105533. Over 12 years, I have worked with adults, adolescents, and children, including foster and adoptive families through social work, teaching foster parenting classes, and leading support groups for anxiety, grief, and foster parent issues. I also assist those struggling with anger management, premarital counseling, and teens and adults with ADHD. My approach I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment theory, incorporating homework and challenging clients to reassess what it takes to adjust a "problem." We explore how to rethink beliefs and thoughts driving behaviors. I work as hard as the client will! My focus I regularly work with couples, women individually, and teen girls ages 15-18. I have led groups and am passionate about supporting clients with adult ADHD, anger management, conflict resolution, grief and loss, anxiety, fertility and pregnancy issues, foster/adopt families, clergy families, and divorcing/blended families. My communication style I foster a tone for change and transformation. My goal is to work as hard as the client and assign homework to help clients process thoughts beyond our weekly sessions. My journey to mental healthcare My interest in psychology began in college, where I minored in the subject. Therapy felt like the perfect fit for my personality and became my passion. My own history of pain and challenges further motivated me to pursue this field and now inform my counseling.
