Sarah Reijnen, MA, LMFTA
Psychotherapist
(she/her)
In my practice I work with both teens and adults ages 13 and up, and I particularly enjoy working with teen girls and young women on issues such as self-esteem and body image, school and familial struggles, trauma, and anxiety. I work best with clients who are motivated, open, and engaged in the therapeutic process. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), however I utilize many different therapeutic approaches in order to find what works best for each individual client so that they feel validated and heard.
I began my career working in K-12 education, but after experiencing a major trauma in my own life I pivoted to therapy. I wanted to use my own therapeutic journey to healing to help others who are struggling. I have over two decades of experience working with children and teens as an advocate, volunteer, and teacher. Prior to beginning my private practice, I spent two years working in community mental health and providing wraparound intensive counseling services to children, teens, and their families. As a mom, I also love working with new mothers no matter where they are in the journey on the unique challenges, experiences, and joys that come with motherhood.
I work with many clients struggling with trauma or anxiety. When we first meet, we will work together to create a safe space for you to feel comfortable unburdening yourself in. We will make a plan for how we can work together to improve your thoughts, experiences, and relationships. Many clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first few weeks with continued progress thereafter.
