We all need support—someone to listen to us with an open and nonjudgmental mind, someone to help us reorganize our thoughts when we are confused, undecided, or overwhelmed, and someone to cheer us on when we struggle without pushing us faster than we are ready to go. My goal is to provide you with the comfort necessary for introspection and healing and to search with you for any tools that may enrich your journey of self-discovery and fulfillment. As difficult as it is to take that first step into a counselor's office, I believe that seeking help when in need is the greatest act of love we can gift ourselves, as well as the clearest sign of strength and maturity. So, although the day we first meet will mark the beginning of our journey, it will not be the beginning of yours: you are already well on your way! I look forward to walking alongside you, wherever your path may lead.

Hello friends, if you are reading this, you may be feeling stuck, or shattered, or afraid that healing is not possible for you, and the pain you're experiencing is just how your life is now. But healing is possible. My name is Sara Williams and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate. I completed my Bachelor’s in Forensic Psychology at ASU and received my Master’s from Colorado Christian University. Having the opportunity to be a part of someone’s therapeutic journey is a huge privilege and providing an environment for you to feel safe, heard, and gain healing is a top priority. I use an array of evidenced based treatments and have experience working with a variety of ages, demographics, and presenting concerns. I specialize in EMDR and have a passion for working with individuals who have been impacted by trauma. I believe that people are created to be resilient, but unfortunately, time does not heal all wounds. Sometimes we need extra support and skills to overcome our past and reclaim the future. Taking the step to begin therapy can be daunting, but it would be a privilege for me to be a part of your healing journey!

Once upon a time, a military medic took a moment to listen to the story of a soldier who was suffering somatically from the sheer amount of distress they felt. That medic found her "Ah-ha" and pursued further education within the mental health field with unmatched passion. Your healing is something I aspire to work together with you to achieve. My areas of expertise include working with populations such as children, teens, and parents. I am capable of addressing difficult and complex traumas by utilizing a trauma-informed approach. I strive for every patient encounter to leave you feeling appreciated as a human being and heard. I follow a person-centered approach while integrating other modalities as needed, including play therapy techniques.

I believe that life and mental health are a journey. My job is to walk alongside you on this journey until you feel comfortable navigating life on your own. Therapy is essential for unlocking the best versions of ourselves. I am an LPCC in the state of Colorado, and I look forward to working with you. I have worked in mental health for the past seven years, including roles as a mental health technician in a hospital, answering crisis intervention phone lines, providing in-person crisis intervention, and offering individual clinical mental health therapy. It can be challenging to navigate life's twists and turns alone. Therapy provides a safe space to explore our inner selves, thoughts, and feelings, gaining insights to overcome obstacles and achieve personal growth. As your therapist, my role is to provide unwavering support and guidance as you embark on this journey of self-discovery.
