Sarah Boyd, LPCC — Therapist in Minnesota

Hi there, I'm Sarah!

I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, relational issues, psychosis, personality disorders, substance use, co-occurring disorders, and neurodivergence. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and collaborative space where you can gain clarity, develop effective coping strategies, and move toward lasting change.

My focus

I work with individuals and adolescents navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, relational issues, life transitions, psychosis, personality disorders, substance use, co-occurring disorders, and neurodivergence. Many clients come feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and trauma-informed approaches. I believe healing starts with building a collaborative, trusting, and non-judgmental relationship. I will work with you to identify therapeutic goals.

My communication style

My communication style is conversational, clear, open, and direct. I strive to create a space that is supportive and free of judgment, where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I practice active listening and will be an engaged partner on your mental health journey.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always loved people and been drawn to developing deep connections and helping others. I began my career in the non-profit sector supporting individuals with home and community-based services, then advocating for children and adolescents. I enjoy connecting with others, hearing their stories, and building meaningful relationships.

My goals for you

Together, we'll identify and set manageable goals based on your desired outcomes. Over time, your goals may change as you gain more insight and understanding. We can adapt our plan at any time to ensure we are working toward goals that are meaningful and relevant to you.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another and make sure you feel comfortable. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, the goals you'd like to work toward, and any concerns or questions you may have. There is no pressure to share everything at once. We'll move at a pace that feels right for you.
