Sarah Osmer (She/Her)

Our early-life experiences and traumas create negative beliefs about ourselves that we continue to unintentionally affirm throughout our lives. Behaviors feel familiar and yet we keep repeating them, even if they make us miserable. Humans cannot only think their way out of these stuck thought patterns. We have to feel our feelings and create a sense of felt safety in order to heal, too. That's why I utilize both cognitive (thinking) and somatic (feeling) approaches like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, yoga, and mindfulness with my clients. This holistic approach creates dramatic, intentional change. For nearly a decade, I've held space for clients to feel validated and inspired. Therapy won't feel overly clinical or cold; it should feel like connecting with a good friend who's going to see your potential and challenge you to become the very best version of yourself.

You're looking to start therapy with a real human, right? So here's a little about me! I believe that the most effective therapy is built on the relationship that the client and therapist have. There is healing not just in the information that I can give to you, but in the relationship and co-regulation that takes place in the therapy room. Find a therapist that you truly like and connect with. I am avid about healing. I grew up in an addicted family system and lost my mom at 22. I've been in therapy for over two decades. My yoga and meditation practice is a daily one. I find humor in almost everything. I cry often and love hard. I have rescued three boxers who you may get to meet in the office or background of our session- I mean, look at their faces! I'm extremely progressive politically and believe that dismantling the historically oppressive and patriarchal systems of therapy is crucial as a therapist. Please reach out with any questions you might have!
