Getting to know Sarah Tobin

My name is Sarah Tobin, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Sacramento, CA, working with clients throughout California via telehealth. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Connecticut and a Bachelor's degree from Central Connecticut State University. I work with adults experiencing a broad range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I specialize in Trauma-Focused Therapy, using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Mindfulness-Based Interventions. My approach is tailored to individual needs, grounded in the understanding that the past impacts the present. With my social work background, I take a holistic approach to mental health treatment, aiming to help clients reach their desired level of functioning and well-being. I use a compassionate and honest approach to support clients in shifting from surviving to thriving. Throughout my career, I have worked with adults of all ages facing acute to chronic mental health conditions. I am experienced in addressing challenges related to relationships, life transitions, employment, and navigating hardships. My work focuses on recognizing strengths, identifying areas for growth, and empowering individuals to regain control over their lives. My communication style is kind, direct, and validating to ensure clients feel heard, understood, and safe. I value trust and honesty as the foundation of the therapeutic relationship, essential for deep healing. My goal is to create a safe and welcoming environment where you feel open and comfortable throughout therapy. My journey to becoming a therapist began with a fascination with psychology and a desire to understand why we do what we do, rather than judge. I believe suffering has root causes that can be unraveled through therapy and that everyone has the capacity to heal and grow. My goal is to provide comprehensive, compassionate care tailored to each individual's unique needs.
