Sarah introduces herself & talks about her therapeutic approach!

Sarah F., M.S., LCMHCA

In today’s world, having a space where you can be your true, authentic self is everything. If you feel like stress, anxiety, depression, or life changes have been keeping you stuck and holding you back from feeling like your best self, I hear you and I get it. In therapy with me, you will find a safe and supportive space where you can show up and feel good in your own skin. Together, we will set healthy boundaries, boost confidence, use mindfulness, and get you back to self-care— as you deserve! Let’s make you feel a little bit more like YOU. Reach out, and let’s get this started.

I specialize in supporting adolescents, teens, and young adults to walk through life changes and building skills in communication, confidence, stress management, and academic success. I understand that therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, so I use approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy, with an emphasis on cultural competence and diversity.

I’m here to listen, support, and honor your unique life experiences in a judgment-free zone. Life takes us down many different paths, and it’s okay to have support along the way. Let’s connect and walk this path together.

My Experience

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate. I obtained my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from North Carolina A&T State University in 2017, and my Master of Science Degree in Community Psychology from Florida A&M University in 2019. After completing my first master’s degree I went on to serve in the Peace Corps as a Health & HIV/AIDS Civil Society Capacity Building Volunteer in Botswana, Africa. After the Covid-19 international evacuations in 2020, I returned to the United States and continued my education. I obtained my second Master of Science Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Mount Olive in 2023. 

My previous clinical experience consists of various settings which include, short-term residential, IOP, partial hospitalization, and private practice in individual and group settings.

When I’m not in therapist mode I’m…

Attending cultural festivals, reading a good book, watching one of my favorite movies or tv shows, and spending time with my loved ones.
