Sarah Howard, LCSW — Therapist in Tennessee

Hi there, I'm Sarah!

You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or longing for change, yet you're unsure of where to start. Therapy offers a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and reconnect with hope. When you feel ready to take that first step, I’m here to walk alongside your journey towards healing and a more fulfilling life.

My focus

I specialize in working with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders, and I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel empowered to build insight, resilience, and lasting change.

My approach

I take a person‐centered, collaborative approach to therapy and believe that meaningful change begins with feeling heard and understood. I meet clients where they are, creating a safe, supportive space where they can openly share their experiences.

My communication style

While clients guide the focus of our work together, I actively offer insight, reflection, and evidence‐based tools to support growth and healing throughout the therapeutic journey. I strive to balance compassionate listening with gentle guidance, helping clients build awareness, develop coping strategies, and move toward lasting, positive change.

My journey to mental healthcare

I obtained my MSW with the goal in mind to become a therapist. I worked towards my LCSW in an outpatient crisis center. I have since worked in outpatient substance abuse and inpatient psych settings. I genuinely love people and love helping people find that intrinsic motivation for change. I love seeing someone gain hope and confidence back.

Our first session

In the first session, you can expect a warm, collaborative environment. I will ask questions to better understand your concerns, background, and goals. Together, we will clarify your objectives and develop a flexible treatment plan to guide our work, adjusting it over time to reflect your progress and evolving needs.
