Sarah Woolson LPC, LPMT, MT-BC

Being a teen can mean navigating changing relationships, questions of identity, academic and social pressures, and emotions that can be difficult to put into words. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where teens can feel heard, explore their experiences, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves. My approach is collaborative and curious, helping teens navigate challenges and discover what feels meaningful to them.

Being a teen can mean navigating changing relationships, questions of identity, academic and social pressures, and emotions that can be difficult to put into words. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where teens can feel heard and explore their experiences. My background in music therapy informs my approach, and creative or music-based experiences can be incorporated when appropriate and of interest to the teen.

The effects of trauma can linger long after an experience has passed, influencing how we feel, relate to others, and move through the world. I offer a compassionate, collaborative space to explore these experiences at a pace that feels manageable. Together, we can work toward greater self-understanding, explore emotional responses and patterns, and identify resources and strategies that support your sense of safety and connection.

Grief can show up in many ways, and there is no single right way to move through loss. Whether you're grieving a loved one, a relationship, or a significant life change, therapy can offer space for your experience without pressure to move on or feel differently. My approach centers on listening, making room for complex emotions, and helping you find ways to carry your loss while reconnecting with yourself and your life.

As a licensed and board-certified music therapist, I understand how music and creative expression can help us explore emotions, deepen self-awareness, and connect with experiences that may be difficult to put into words. My background in music therapy informs my counseling approach, and music-based interventions may be incorporated when appropriate and of interest to the client. Music is never a requirement for counseling.

I approach trauma-related work with compassion, curiosity, and respect for each person's unique experiences and pace. Together, we can explore how past experiences may influence present emotions, relationships, and patterns of responding. My goal is to offer a supportive space where clients can deepen self-understanding, explore emotional responses, and develop resources that support a greater sense of safety and connection.

My approach draws on an appreciation for the connections between our emotions, thoughts, bodies, relationships, and creativity. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, I work collaboratively with clients to find what feels helpful and meaningful to them. Our work may include reflection, experiential exercises, practical tools, and opportunities to experiment with new ways of understanding and responding to life's challenges.

As a licensed and board-certified music therapist, I view music as a powerful language for understanding our emotions, processing experiences, and connecting with ourselves and others. Music can help us express what feels difficult to put into words, explore our inner experiences, and develop coping and emotional regulation skills. I integrate music therapy to support self-awareness, emotional expression, and meaningful opportunities for growth and connection.
