Getting to know Sarah Poulain

Hi there, I'm Sarah! Hello! I am Sarah Marx Poulain, LMFT, licensed in California and Colorado with nearly 20 years of professional experience. I earned my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Antioch University - New England (Keene, NH). I have experience helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, body image and parenting concerns, and women's issues. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. My approach I come from a systems perspective and use a strength-based, person-centered approach in my work with clients. I blend aspects of Narrative therapy, collaborative therapy, and solution-focused therapy to support my clients. My focus I have worked with clients across age ranges, including families with young children, school-aged children, teens, and adults. I support clients navigating concerns related to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), trauma and abuse, body image and self-love, stress and anxiety, depression, grief, forgiveness, parenting concerns, and issues related to race and identity. My communication style I provide a calm and grounded space during sessions. I am direct, kind, and respectful, and it is important to me that my clients feel seen, heard, and validated in their experience with me. My goals for you I work collaboratively with clients to create goals aligned with their reasons for seeking support, serving as a guide for our work together. I believe in regularly checking progress to ensure goals remain aligned and to adjust as needed based on our sessions over time.
