About

Hi there, I'm Sara! Hi! My name is Sara Gilbert, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California. I work with adults and adolescents via Telehealth and specialize in relationship issues, anxiety, grief/loss, and increasing self-empowerment. I use Strength-based, Humanistic, and Mindfulness approaches to help you to create an inner union and learn a deeper sense of freedom and joy. My approach I believe we are born with everything we need for optimal recovery. I use a number of different therapeutic techniques based on the individual clients’ needs. I use Strength-based, Humanistic, Mindfulness, and Psychodynamic methods to help guide you in the healing process for relief. I believe there is a powerful mind and body connection where you can uncover unconscious patterns to become more present. My focus Whether the challenges are within a relationship, anxiety, grief/loss, confidence, or issues stemming from one’s childhood traumas, I encourage you to tap into your strengths and internal belief systems. You will be guided to locate solid coping mechanisms and learn how to release past and present blockages. This will bring in more transformation and peace. My communication style I am warm, compassionate, and a great listener. I provide levity while I can also be direct and challenge you in order to help you to let go of old ideas and behaviors that may no longer serve you. I am supportive and encouraging to re-learn unconditional self-love, forgiveness, and acceptance. I will guide you on the journey of self discovery, like a detective helping you to connect the dots of your life to find more meaning. My journey to mental healthcare Like a great masseuse, I believe you either have that skill or you don’t. For as long as I can remember dating back to a young child, it has always been my life’s purpose and passion to help as many individuals as possible in their healing process of expansion and resolution.
