Sara Lawson

Sara Lawson is a dedicated clinical social worker and therapist, holding licenses as an LLBSW and LLMSW. She emphasizes the importance of understanding to foster success in Mental Health Therapy. Recognizing and respecting diversity, cultural differences, ethics, race, and religious backgrounds, she ensures that therapy meets clients where they are in life. Her approach enables clients to process and understand their feelings, thoughts, and emotions, acknowledging that superhumans do not exist, and that mistakes and painful life events can happen. Sara aims to assist clients in realizing their desires, identifying issues, developing actionable plans, and setting realistic goals. Her expertise includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure Therapy, Trauma Informed PTSD for both adults and children, LGBTQ counseling, and marriage/couples counseling. Additionally, she is a certified practitioner in Micro-Aggression and Cultural Competency. Sara addresses a range of concerns such as domestic violence, depression, anxiety, grief, and HIV/AIDS counseling. With a strong belief that the concept of Mental Health should not be stigmatized, she advocates for the notion that waking up happy every day is a cornerstone of mental well-being. Sara understands that throughout the day, traumatic and stressful events can occur, potentially triggering mental health disorders linked to trauma-informed PTSD, physical and mental abuse, gender identity acceptance, and substance use disorders. By focusing on person-centered planning, she creates a supportive environment for healing and growth.
