Getting to know Sarah Woods
Hi! I am Sarah Woods, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's in Clinical Social Work from California State University, Sacramento, and over twenty years of experience treating individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and complex trauma. I am committed to establishing a safe and trusting relationship that will serve as the foundation for a profound therapeutic experience.
My approach
My work follows the guiding principles of attachment-based and emotion-focused therapy. I am also well-versed in cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy. We will work together to align my approach with your goals and can adapt during our journey together.
My focus
I have an extensive background working with adolescents and individuals experiencing uncertainty related to life changes, challenging family dynamics, developing their identity in the world, and wanting to understand their relationships better.
My communication style
I provide a space of safety where we can communicate openly, respectfully, and with curiosity. I value each person who sits with me and offer patience in developing a relationship that fosters the understanding and change you are hoping for.
My goals for you
You will identify your therapeutic goals, and I will serve as a guide to help you reach them. Goals can be adjusted and changed throughout our time together. This will be something we communicate about often.
My first session with you
Attending the first session can be filled with uncertainty and takes courage. I like to start by establishing a degree of comfort and safety. From there, I am most interested in learning about who you are and how I can support you in our time together. This can include discussing your history, your goals, establishing what our time together will be like, and covering any logistical needs and questions.
