A new way of being is possible...

A new way of being is possible...

One day all of us will wake up and realize that life is much less black and white, and much more wild, uncertain, and complex than we knew before. This realization can be painful. Expanding into new stages of awakening, development, maturity, and growth can feel exposing and disrupting. Especially when we are not even aware that this is what is happening.

Maybe you have become a parent, lost a parent, gone through divorce or entered into a significant life transition? You may be noticing you are exhausted by the self-criticism and perfectionism that torments you. Perhaps you have realized that the environment you were raised in was wounding and you are desiring to heal trauma and experience deeper relationships with yourself, others, and your spiritual life? 

You might be in a new life phase, a new relationship, experiencing heartbreak, deconstructing religious beliefs, reconstructing your spirituality, struggling with boundaries, addiction, anxiety, burn out, depression, sexuality, relational patterns, or feeling a longing for more joy and shalom in your life.

My darling, 
I hear you. You’re not alone.

Take a breath. It’s going to be okay.

But first, it may hurt a little.

The invitation here is to become curious about the stories and formation of your past and how it is showing up today. For these “symptoms” could be vital information, a map, and a voice beckoning you to explore the wild and extraordinary galaxy that is you.

“The doors to the world of the wild Self are few but precious. If you have a deep scar, that is a door, if you have an old, old story, that is a door. If you love the sky and the water so much you almost cannot bear it, that is a door. If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door.”

― Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Tools, Offerings,
and Modalities

  • Individual counseling is a type of mental health service provided by a licensed therapist to help people work through personal issues, such as stress, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, and more. It is a confidential, client-centered approach to therapy that focuses on helping the individual reach their goals and improve their overall mental health and wellbeing. The counselor will typically work with the client to identify their problem areas, develop coping strategies and techniques, and create an action plan to help the individual move forward.

  • Relationship coaching is a form of life coaching that focuses on helping people improve their personal relationships. Through the use of a mediator, effective communication, and conflict resolution skills, a relationship coach can help couples, families, friends, and other individuals resolve issues and create healthier bonds. The aim of relationship coaching is to create a safe, supportive environment in which both parties can discuss their challenges and emotions openly and honestly, and develop strategies to better understand and manage their relationship.

  • Many of us need a safe place to make sense of evolving spiritual beliefs and values and intentional religious trauma healing. I offer a space to process the trauma of negative religious experiences that may have resulted in shame, confusion, and feeling spiritually homeless. This work involves recognizing and understanding the impact of rigid, oppressive, and toxic beliefs due to religious teaching, practices and institutions, as well as exploring strategies to cope with the past and give birth to a new and flourishing spiritual life and practice.

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Parts Work/IFS (Internal Family Systems) are psychotherapeutic techniques that focus on resolving traumatic memories, reducing psychological distress, and building a strong and harmonious internal system. EMDR focuses on using bilateral stimulation (eye movements, sounds, or tapping) to process the traumatic event and reduce its intensity, while Parts Work focuses on understanding the internal parts of the individual and how they interact with each other while strengthening the core adult self. Both approaches can be used to help people identify and resolve internal conflicts and traumatic experiences.

  • "As a Qualified Supervisor with the State of Florida, and I’m thrilled to support emerging clinicians on their journey to licensure and gaining confidence and finding their voice and style as a therapist.  I am currently accepting new supervisees who are seeking a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to supervision, where we’ll work together to explore practical applications and professional growth. Beginning in the new year, I’ll also be offering Group Supervision sessions, creating a collaborative and supportive space to enhance clinical skills, gain deeper insights, and support as you work toward independent practice."

  • I’m available for bookings as a speaker at a various array of events, workshops, and retreats. I thrive in the Arts Education space with students as well as higher education and team/staff settings.

  • "Working with Sarah Claire has changed my life and how I show up in my world. Her gentle and curious approach to listening, teaching, and modeling has led me to experience healing within myself, as well as relationships with those I hold close to my heart. Sarah Claire has taught me how to show up as a curious sister, friend, daughter, and human. She has walked me through my darkest pains of grief, and held my heart through my most healing journey of finding my inner artist. Walking through life with SC is, and will continue to be, a transformative experience."

  • "Sarah Claire is warm and wise. She not only has the tools to help me discover my life's passions, but her trustworthy spirit empowers me to become passionate in my spiritual, physical, relational and vocational endeavors. One session with her set me on a journey to invest in myself. Seeing her continues to be a worthy investment. My hope is that more people experience this gift for themselves."

    Mary S.

  • "I sought out SC for counseling in a “lost” time in my life. I remember my first session with her, asking her “teach me to find happiness and to love myself.” I had done therapy in the past but truly wanted to dive into the "Why?" behind my feelings. There were times I loved seeing and talking to Sarah Claire, and there were times were I would dread it. Crying before, during and after sessions. I soon learned that these hard sessions were growing me. I was learning about all the parts of myself. I was learning to be gentle with my younger self, to love and care for that little girl. After many sessions and some tough love, I can say I am in a better place. By no means am I “finished” and “changed” but still slowly learning to give myself grace in this crazy world we live in. I was the one who never thought therapy could change me. I would often tell Sarah Claire, “this isn’t going to work"...but with her patience and my consistency, she helped me lower my protectors and find my true core self…. Who loves therapy now!!!”

  • "Working with Sarah Claire has quite literally saved and changed my life. In my consistent work with SC, I have gained the tools and skill sets to tackle and address crippling habits, overwhelming anxieties, and spiraling patterns. There is no exaggeration in the statement ‘I do not know where I would be without working with SC.’I feel empowered, confident, and equipped to handle the constant ups and downs that life throws my way, due to the tactics I’ve adopted in this consistent work. I am beyond thankful for this space and the life-saving/changing growth I’ve discovered, due to this therapist-client relationship."

The Session Experience

In a typical session, you can expect to work with a range of modalities suited to your unique being and what is showing up in your life at the time. We will take our first sessions to identify what goals you have and design a treatment path that feels empowering for you. 

In this space we listen deeply.

We slow down to breathe.

We normalize the human experience.

We name and feel emotions.

We explore truer and more loving expressions of God.

We comfort our little child selves. 

We honor laughter and tears.

We call out toxic belief systems.

We celebrate courage, vulnerability, and resilience.

We befriend our most annoying and painful parts of us.

We get curious about how past and current wounds show up in our bodies and behaviors today.

We learn to regulate our nervous systems. 

We expose oppressive systems and work towards justice and equality and freedom for all.

We practice listening to our bodies. 

We create new neural pathways that will lead us into a healthier and more present life.

We grow in our skills to navigate the wild terrain of what it is to be human.
