Sarah Swims
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
When we work together, I want you to feel safe, accepted, and respected. All I ask is for you to show up as you are while we work toward healthier living.
When I start working with a client, I believe one of the most important factors in you feeling safe and hopeful is how well we create a good, trusting relationship. I want you to feel safe to heal, explore, and understand all the things that make you who you are. Maybe you simply want support to continue where you're at, or maybe you've reached a point that the things you've been doing simply don't work anymore. Either way, all parts of you--even those parts that feel uncomfortable or need some dusting off--have a place in my room (in-person or virtual!). Whether you're battling anxiety, depression, addiction, challenging relationships, issues with self-esteem and confidence or something else, we'll work together to build skills for healthy and holistic living. If you feel like you have some questions or if you would like to get started, I am ready to meet you.
