1:1 With Sarah

Wounded healers need supervision too. Sarah is passionate about fostering therapists’ personal and professional growth through mentoring, supervision, and consultation.

Mentoring options are available for therapists who are looking for a transformative supervision experience and practice owners who are looking for customized support.

Supervision not only plays a crucial role in the professional development and ethical practice of therapists, but also provides parallel process for our own healing.

In consultations, Sarah helps practice owners align their business with their lifestyle goals. Together, we'll look at both the concrete business practices as well as the emotional stuff that complicates business ownership.
