Sarah Rivers Deal

Sarah Rivers Deal is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a PhD, who is dedicated to collaborating with her clients to discover and cultivate fulfilling lives. She believes that this journey often involves embracing what scares individuals, and she skillfully guides them through reflection, insight, and carefully chosen feedback. Her approach is characterized by a strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship she fosters, creating an empowering and supportive environment that encourages personal growth. With over 20 years of clinical experience, along with her role as a professor educating and supervising master's level counselors, Sarah is well-equipped to address a variety of concerns, including relationship issues, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, infertility, trauma, life transitions, and holistic wellness. Her demeanor is marked by presence, genuineness, and a balance of care and challenge, ensuring that clients receive both support and encouragement. In an effort to maintain a personal touch, her practice is intentionally small, allowing her to offer flexible appointments that cater to her clients' needs. Sarah also provides 55-minute sessions, deviating from the standard duration, to ensure ample time for meaningful conversation. Occasionally, her sweet male dog, Kobey, may be present to add comfort and companionship during sessions.
