Sarah Fournier, LCSW — Therapist in New Hampshire

Hi there, I'm Sarah!

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and I commend your courage in taking this step! My goal is to support your vision for recovery and provide you with a safe, compassionate environment where you can feel heard and empowered to work toward your goals.

My focus

I work with adolescents and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, life transitions, PTSD, thought disorders, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. For anyone who feels overwhelmed, stuck, or interested in another perspective, I will meet you where you are and partner with you to co-create a supportive path that aligns with your vision for recovery.

My approach

My approach is based primarily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you identify negative thought patterns and behaviors that interfere with your recovery goals and quality of life. I adapt my strategies to help you manage challenges, reduce symptoms, and achieve your goals.

My communication style

I prioritize clear, direct, and supportive communication to respect your time and effort. I'm empathetic and curious; I ask questions to learn more about your perspective, your values, and how you engage with the world. This helps me tailor my therapeutic approach to your recovery goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist began with studying global issues of suffering and inequality. I quickly realized that I found true fulfillment in making one-on-one connections, helping individuals navigate their struggles with compassion and support.

My goals for you

I will partner with you to identify steps that feel manageable while still being challenging. Recovery is not linear, and whether you are focused on building self-esteem, breaking generational patterns, or another goal, I will support you through the highs and lows. I use specific tools and strategies to help you meet your goals.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll take time to get to know each other, discussing your background, what brings you to therapy, and the therapy process itself. It's normal to feel overwhelmed or nervous, and I'm here to guide you step-by-step, building trust and our relationship over time.
