Sarah Garrick, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Sarah!

I am dedicated to helping people struggling with mental health and substance abuse issues.

My focus

I specialize in treating anger management, anxiety, depression, OCD, self-esteem, stress, and substance use issues. I am willing to see both minors (ages 13-17) and adult individuals.

My approach

I believe recovery is possible. My therapeutic approach utilizes psychoeducation, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach practical coping strategies.

My communication style

I communicate in a direct yet compassionate manner, providing psychoeducation and practical strategies to empower you. Through active listening and collaborative dialogue, we'll work together to help you develop effective coping skills and work towards your recovery goals.

My goals for you

My goal is to equip you with effective tools and skills to manage your mental health challenges, build resilience, and work towards lasting recovery and improved well-being.

Our first session

In our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy, your background, and your goals. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and supported as we collaboratively develop a personalized treatment plan.
