Getting to know Sarah Speers
Hi, I'm Sarah. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Alternative Healing Arts Practitioner who specializes in helping individuals heal their relationship with food, their bodies, and themselves, while also supporting healing from childhood wounds, chronic stress, and emotional overwhelm.
Many of the challenges we face-whether with food, anxiety, relationships, or self-esteem-are rooted in unresolved emotional wounds, attachment dynamics, and nervous system dysregulation. My work focuses on helping you access and heal these deeper layers so that lasting change becomes possible.
I offer an integrative approach that blends traditional psychotherapy with somatic and energy-based modalities. In our work together, we may use processes such as Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), parts work, and nervous system regulation practices to support inner child healing, emotional processing, and the repair of attachment patterns. These approaches help access deeper layers of the mind and body where long-standing patterns are often stored.
In addition to traditional therapy, I offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for individuals seeking deeper work with long-standing emotional patterns or treatment-resistant struggles. These sessions are offered on a self-pay basis and include thorough preparation and integration support.
I bring nearly two decades of experience in the field of eating disorder treatment, particularly with bulimia and binge eating disorder. My background includes directing a behavioral health program at a premier wellness center, leading an intensive treatment program for binge eating disorder at the University of California San Diego's Center for Healthy Eating and Activity Research, and conducting research on eating behavior at Yale University's Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity.
Alongside my training, my own recovery from bulimia informs my work, allowing me to offer genuine understanding, compassion, and hope for healing.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
