Sara Paterson

Sara Paterson is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complexities of their emotional experiences. She understands how isolating it can feel to recover from past trauma or manage difficult emotions in today’s fast-paced world. Additionally, she has a particular passion for supporting parents who have children struggling with change and big feelings despite their best efforts. Sara believes that every challenging life situation can leave one feeling confused and uncertain, and she is here to provide that much-needed support. Her focus is on empowering her clients—children, adult children of emotional neglect, highly sensitive individuals, and those experiencing loss, grief, or illness. Through creating a safe space, she helps her clients process their feelings while teaching the skills necessary for the realizations of their desired changes in both themselves and their relationships. Sara particularly enjoys facilitating growth in children through play therapy, helping them discover their strengths. When working with adults and couples, she adopts an action-oriented approach that involves establishing clear goals in every session, allowing clients to practice new skills and techniques outside of sessions. With a blend of warmth, humor, and compassion, Sara makes her therapeutic environment accessible for those struggling with anxiety, depression, or ongoing relationship conflicts. Since 2014, she has been devoted to guiding her clients towards healing, growth, and living their best lives.
