Sarah Donnelly

My communication style

I create a safe and accepting environment rooted in empathy, patience, and comfort. It is a privilege to share this journey with you, and I take care in the effort it takes to express and process vulnerable topics. I enjoy using humor and real-life experiences in my sessions.

My journey to mental healthcare

I grew up a military child and moved very often. From childhood, I struggled with navigating unexpected challenges that disrupted my routines and relationships. I knew I wanted to help those who felt similarly due to their own experiences. I strive to create a safe space where clients feel heard, supported, and appropriately challenged.

My goals for you

We will develop goals based on your desired outcomes, and they'll be reviewed every session to ensure there is progress in obtaining the skills needed to be emotionally healthy.

Our first session

Our first session will identify what concerns brought you into therapy. I'd like to get to know you, including your childhood, past traumas, and patterns of functioning. We also spend time building rapport, setting goals, and discussing treatment modalities to target your needs. I regularly check in with self-evaluations and assign homework.

I identify as...

• Female, Cis
• Caucasian or White
