Sara K. Sebastian, LCSW — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Sara K.!

My goal is to be a lantern in the dark when you're unsure where to go next. I provide non-judgmental, growth-oriented counseling and coaching for adults and teens with ADHD.

My focus

I love working with neurodivergent adults. We will work on overcoming the barriers your symptoms create, learning about why your symptoms are occurring, and managing your emotional needs.

My approach

I have an expert-level understanding of the symptoms associated with ADHD and creative ideas for how to treat them. I use an integrative approach, blending techniques from ACT, CBT, and DBT. Sessions focus on understanding the biological basis for your symptoms, finding solutions, and treating issues like emotional amplitude and low motivation.

My communication style

People with ADHD are often hard on themselves. One of my goals is to reduce any shame you might feel about your neurodivergence. I use an empowerment and strengths-based approach. While we'll discuss serious things, I hope I can make you laugh at least once! Many clients ask if they can swear in therapy. Absolutely. Yes, you can.

My journey to mental healthcare

When we first meet, we'll talk about why you're seeking counseling, and I'll ask some questions to get to know you and your concerns a little better. You're under no obligation to discuss anything you don't wish to discuss.

My goals for you

Good therapy is goal-oriented. If you're not sure what your goals are, that's okay—we'll figure it out! Most importantly, you'll be in charge of deciding what changes you want to see. My job is to help you decide the best way to get there. My goal is for you to leave each session with a useful skill you're ready to work on.
