Sarah Downer is a compassionate Clinical Social Worker and therapist, dedicated to supporting individuals who feel overwhelmed by the complexities of life. She specializes in assisting those who often find themselves saying yes to obligations that do not align with their needs, fearing the disappointment of family, friends, and colleagues. Recognizing that life can be especially challenging for highly sensitive persons (HSPs), Sarah understands the difficulties of balancing empathy for others with self-care. This delicate struggle often impacts one's health and overall sense of wellbeing. Informed by Gabor Maté's concept of Authenticity vs Attachment, Sarah utilizes her training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and trauma-focused modalities to provide nurturing therapeutic support. With a particular focus on birth trauma, she employs somatic resolution techniques to help individuals process their experiences. Working closely with HSPs, especially mothers navigating the pressures of modern life, Sarah offers a safe space for healing and personal growth, empowering her clients to embrace authenticity in their lives.
