Sara Cummo, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Sara!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I believe people are the experts in their own lives, and I desire to work with clients to help foster empowerment and self-awareness to create lasting change. My role is to empower clients to uncover their inner strength and resilience in a safe and supportive environment.

My focus

I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, anger issues, major life transitions, career changes, job loss, health challenges, loss, grief, divorce, separation, burnout, and self-esteem concerns to manage symptoms and build healthy coping strategies.

My approach

I draw from evidence-based practices, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness-based techniques to provide personalized support and effective treatment outcomes.

My communication style

When we meet, you will find a warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental space where authenticity and vulnerability are encouraged. My approach centers on creating safety and comfort, allowing you to relax and be yourself. Your thoughts, feelings, and experiences are validated and understood.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist to empower others to heal, grow, and reclaim their well-being. My passion stems from a desire to care for and support individuals navigating life's challenges. Witnessing transformative growth, resilience, and renewed hope in clients fuels my dedication.

My goals for you

Goal setting will be a collaborative and empowering process. Together, we will explore your desires, values, and priorities to identify meaningful objectives. I will help you break down larger goals into manageable steps, support you in taking ownership, and celebrate successes.

Our first session

During our initial session, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where we will begin to build a foundation for our therapeutic relationship. We will discuss the reasons for seeking therapy, review therapeutic processes, and establish clear expectations.
