Meet Sara Barthol
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Sex Therapist, and dedicated mental health advocate with over 35 years of experience.
My Story
For over 35 years, I have had the privilege of helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s most challenging moments. My passion for therapy began early in my career, and it has only grown stronger with each client I’ve had the honor to work with.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, I bring a unique blend of expertise to my practice. I am also a Certified Grief Therapist and have extensive experience in addiction recovery, making me equipped to address a wide range of concerns with compassion and skill.
My approach is warm, humor-filled, and sincere. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative journey where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes in your life. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, relationship issues, grief, or sexual concerns, I’m here to walk alongside you.
I am also Gottman Level 2 trained in couples therapy, which means I use evidence-based methods to help couples strengthen their relationships and build lasting connections.
My Story
Trying therapy for the first time or meeting a new therapist can be daunting. That’s why it’s my top priority to put people at ease as quickly as possible.
My therapeutic style is open, upbeat, collaborative and interactive, so we can work as a team right from the start. When it seems helpful and we agree upon it, I’ll provide suggestions for things to work on in between sessions.
My goal is to reduce emotional distress, improve coping mechanisms, promote personal growth and enhance my clients’ quality of life overall.
What I Believe
Every person deserves to be met with kindness and understanding. I approach each session with genuine care for your wellbeing.
Therapy is a partnership. We work together to understand your experiences and develop strategies that work for your unique life.
I believe in your capacity for change and healing. My role is to support you in discovering your own strength and resilience.
Qualifications & Training
I’m committed to ongoing professional development to provide you with the best possible care.
