Accepting Clients

Hi, I’m Sarah Olynger — a trauma therapist, EMDR specialist, and guide for deep healing.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Encinitas, CA

About My Clients

You’re not broken — you’re carrying pain that was never yours to hold alone. If you’re a teen or adult woman who has survived trauma, I want you to know that healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone. You might look fine on the outside but feel disconnected, anxious, or overwhelmed inside. Maybe you're tired of repeating old patterns, holding it all together, or struggling with emotions you can’t fully name.

My Background and Approach

In my practice, I specialize in supporting trauma survivors — particularly those who have experienced emotional neglect, sexual abuse, complex family dynamics, or toxic relationships. You may be dealing with PTSD, anxiety, dissociation, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of who you really are. My ideal clients are sensitive, insightful, and courageous — even if they don’t feel that way yet. They’re ready (or nearly ready) to turn toward what hurts with the right support. They may be curious about body-based and spiritual approaches to healing, especially if talk therapy alone hasn’t helped them move forward. I work best with clients who are open to going deeper — who want to not just understand their trauma, but transform their relationship with it. I integrate EMDR, somatic practices, and mindfulness to help you process the past, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with your true self. Sessions are grounded in compassion, presence, and deep respect for your pace and process.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
