About My Clients

I offer a listening ear and a fresh perspective, whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal issues, or anything else you may need to address. For those who are marginalized, particularly trans, nonbinary, or queer individuals, I seek to provide as safe and affirming an experience as possible around discussion of identity exploration, transition, and societal stigma. I also offer group therapy for trans and nonbinary adults.

My Approach to Helping

I have worked primarily, but not entirely, with transgender and nonbinary adults since 2014. I provide transition-related support, including referral letters for hormones and surgeries when needed, as well as a therapy group. I believe you are the expert on what is important to you, what works for you, and how you think and feel. Internal Family Systems (IFS) is the main type of therapy I do, and I'm Level 2 trained. IFS is all about building trust within yourself, getting to know different parts of you from an open and curious perspective, and helping those parts heal. IFS is a game-changer in helping people get unstuck from the feelings, beliefs, and patterns that hold them back. I am passionate about serving people who might not otherwise feel comfortable seeking therapy or who might not otherwise have access to it. That's why I take most insurance and also supervise graduate students who are available for a fee of $45 so there is a low-cost option for people without insurance.

Our Personal Beliefs and Interests

Sarah Weeks (she/her) is providing services under the supervision of Dr. Joanna Morse for a fee of $45 per session (no insurance): My therapeutic approach is rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS), trauma-informed care, and principles of structural dissociation. I work collaboratively with clients to understand the purpose behind their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and responses. Together, we explore the ways different parts of the self have adapted to survive and create space for healing, integration, and self-compassion. I am especially passionate about working with members of the LGBTQ+ community and individuals navigating the effects of trauma. I am deeply interested in helping individuals understand the impact of trauma on their relationships, sense of self, and connection to others while supporting them in building lives that feel more authentic, safe, and fulfilling.
