Sara Sanson, LIMHP, LCSW

Hi there! I'm Sara, a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). For 15 years, I've guided kids, teens, young adults, and their families through life's challenges, believing that even in tough times, we can find stability, build resilience, and discover moments of joy. My goal is to help your family navigate life with greater ease and strength.

I'm particularly passionate about empowering neurodivergent youth (ADHD, autism) to thrive, not just cope. Healing from trauma is another cornerstone of my practice, with years dedicated to supporting children, adolescents, and families who have experienced deep wounds. My diverse clinical toolkit includes EMDR, CBT, TF-CBT, DBT, ACT, Circle of Security Facilitator, and the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT).

For youth athletes and creatives facing immense pressure, I offer specialized support. Using EMDR and DBT skills, I help high-performers build mental toughness and resilience for success in their sport or art, and in life. My recent training with Dr. Stacy Sims' Next Gen Course also allows me to incorporate crucial understanding of how factors like menstrual cycles, nutrition, and physical and mental training impact performance.

Outside of sessions, you might find me baking, lifting weights, working on my golf game, or enjoying lake time with loved ones. My approach centers on providing a welcoming, judgment-free space where genuine healing and deeper family connections can flourish. I also offer clinical supervision for therapists seeking guidance. Ready to build your resilience?
