About

Hello, I'm Sarah Laws, an LMFT who specializes in helping those suffering with anxiety, depression, addictive tendencies, family/partner issues, ADHD, and anyone genuinely wishing to gain a better sense of who they are and where they want to go in life. I am very person centric in my approach, and as such help you find where you want to go and help facilitate you pursuing that goal. My approach I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, but also utilize Narrative, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and other similar theoretical models and techniques as my client's respond to and need to achieve their goals. I will assign "homework" frequently, as the bulk of change occurs outside of sessions, but please note that I try to tailor them to easily fit in your lifestyle, be fully collaborative, and in line with the overarching changes and goals you wish to pursue. My focus The bulk of my expertise currently is with clients struggling with various levels and presentations of anxiety, from GAD to PTSD, nervousness due to a new situation to OCD. While I have moved away from treating PTSD recently for now, I have instead added greater training in ADHD treatment to my area of knowledge and also have both training and experience in helping those struggling with addictive tendencies, substance use disorders, and questioning their current use and level of engagement with various substances. Overall, I typically work with anyone looking to have a safe space to fully explore introspection, self-questioning, and gain greater knowledge of who they are and what they want to pursue. My communication style I try to create a warm, open, accepting atmosphere for my clients. We can talk about anything, go anywhere, explore any possibility. I'm here to join you on your journey, and help you discover what tools and insights will help you reach your destination.
