Dr. Sarah Holmes, PhD
I know it can be hard to ask for help, and I am glad you are considering reaching out. You may be wanting to better understand yourself, reduce your distress, resolve problems in your lives, or make a change. Your emotional well-being is incredibly important, and we can work together to help you to get through the challenges you are facing.
I am a clinical psychologist with over 30 years of experience. I have provided therapy to adults in a variety of settings including private practice, hospitals, outpatient mental health clinics, and social service organizations. I work with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma, PTSD, life transitions, and LGBTQ+ concerns. I am also a certified eating disorder specialist and work with many clients surrounding concerns with eating or body image.
In therapy, you can expect no judgment and a space where I will strive to understand your world view. My training and experience have afforded me the opportunity to be able to use a variety of therapeutic approaches. I will always tailor and select these approaches to meet your individual needs. I view therapy as a collaborative process. We will develop a plan of action that works towards your specific goals. I look forward to working with you as you investigate and discover who you are and who you can be.
