Getting to know Sarai Darbandi

Hello there and thank you for stopping by! My name is Sarai and if you have been feeling stuck, but want to know that there is hope and way to the other side, you have come to the right place. I really enjoy supporting individuals in feeling their best and achieving the life they desire. Sometimes we feel stuck either by anxiety, depression, nervous system dysregulation, or past experiences that are still effecting us now. Know that you are not alone and support is availible. I enjoy connecting with my clients and making a plan to reach their desired goals and feel fufilled once again. I have specialized training in Somatic Therapy called Somatic Experiencing, it really helps get out of your head and into the body to help the nervous system settle and feel regulated. I also offer EMDR, parts work, & breathwork as well. In addition, I like taking a holistic and integrative perspective, the entire body is communiticating as well as it is interacting with our environment and relationships we are in. In our first session, you can expect a warm, grounded space where you don’t need to have it all figured out. We’ll start by getting to know each other—I'll ask questions about what’s bringing you in, what you’re hoping to explore or shift, and any relevant history that feels important to share. I’ll also introduce you potential ways I can assist you in those goals and a plan of action. I do offer initial free consultations, feel free to book and we will ensure we are a good fit, looking forward to supporting you!

What should a new client know about working with you?

You will be provided a warm and inviting space where you won't be judged and you will be heard and listened to regarding your concerns. I will listen deeply as you share and together we will put together a plan of care that makes the most sense for you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I like to take time building rapport and understanding my clients, once we have created a plan, we usually start off with nervous system regulation as a foundation of the work that we are preparing for whether it is deeper trauma work, relieving anxiety, releasing other emotions, grief or past experiences, and lastly integration as the last phase of the journey.
