About

Hello and thank you for reviewing my counselor profile. I look forward to the possibility of working with you on this part of your life journey. I am originally from South Florida and received my master's degree in Counselor Education from Florida Atlantic University. Since 2016, I've been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and providing clinical services since 2012. Since licensed, I've been developing programs for a non-profit that works with at-risk youth, providing counseling, developmental assets learning and career training. I also have a private practice and work with teens and adults in the community. In my free time, I love to scuba dive, take my dogs to the beach, swim, read, travel, and volunteer my time in conservation efforts.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and complex trauma and have experience working with first-responders, and child, adolescent and adult survivors of sexual abuse and assaults. My practice focuses on helping clients recover from their anxieties, unstable moods, post-traumatic stress concerns, dissociation and somatic responses. I also take interest in helping adults struggling with relational codependency and adults recovering from childhood adversity.

I have trained with the Beck Institute, which founded Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). CBT strategies may help clients recognize and change unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns which then improves symptom stability and level of functioning. I'm certified in Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which may help clients process traumatic memories, target faulty beliefs, and come to an adaptive resolution. Recently I have become a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and I look forward to helping more trauma survivors learn to thrive.

If you were my client, I would help you become your own therapist on your journey to self-discovery and development. I'd be honored to navigate you through your current life-phase challenges, relationship concerns, and any difficult symptoms related to your emotional health and well-being. I'd help you tap into your internal strengths, resources and support system so that you can move forward and live a quality life. I'll guide you to find relief from your symptoms and increase your resilience during a time of crisis and adverse life situations. You will likely find meaning, identify your core values, and reach your goals within a short period of time in counseling with me.

Sarah Paulick, LMHC, CCTP, EMDR Certified
