Hi there! My name is Sarah McArthur and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. In my time as a therapist, I have worked with individuals, couples, and families on issues ranging from struggles with life changes and adjustments, to the challenges that arise from substance use/abuse. Some other areas I've worked with include anxiety, depression, pre-marital concerns, LGBTQIA, relationship issues, and familial conflicts.
My treatment approach is client/person-centered where I act as a supportive guide along whatever journey you are on. I recognize how difficult it can be to reach out for help of any sort, so I commend you for even getting to this point. My objective is to make sure that you feel comfortable and safe enough to process any experience or challenge, while providing the necessary coping skills to navigate your individual lives.

I feel as if she genuinely cares about my concerns and problems. I don't feel stressed or like a burden when I'm talking to her. She listens to what I'm actually saying and it's all just genuine. One of the better therapists I've had in a long while.

Sarah is a great counselor for couples. She facilitates constructive conversations between us, and helps us to understand and accept our differences. 10/10 would recommend her!

Realistic yet understanding
Written on Sep 03, 2021 after therapy with Sarah for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, self esteem, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes
Not only is Dr. McArthur a wonderful consoler who feels safe and and easy to talk to, I feel that, most importantly, she cares about me as a person and genuinely wants the best for me. I feel like I can tell her anything and while she may not always have the answers, she does provide an empathetic presence and mental techniques that change my frame of thinking; Monday's have become my favorite day of the week because Dr. McArthur is such a positive force in my life.

Best experience

Talking to Sarah is equivalent to speaking with that friend that is stern but loves you. I never feel judged, or misguided and as a result I leave each session with more confidence, trust within myself and the mantra "I can handle it!".

Sarah is incredible. I feel validated and supported but she points out my misguided thoughts as well. She asks thought provoking questions that help me
Get to the crux of my issues and helps me set realistic expectations. I choose phone
Calls because video is distracting for me and we’ve messaged in between sessions as well. She responds to me the same day and usually with an open ended question for me to ponder or write back! I am amazed at how fast I clicked with her and I look forward to my weekly sessions!

Sarah creates an inclusive and safe atmosphere to feel safe to speak about personal issues and struggles. She asks really great questions that compels me to really think about my situation/experiences and see the unbiased side of things. I look forward to our sessions and recommend making an appointment with her 100%.

Sarah has helped me a lot with calming the many doubts and anxieties I have that would constantly hinder my happiness and daily life. After working with her for a few months I’ve noticed many changes in my perspective on life. I’ve never had a counselor who understood me and my perspective more than Sarah has and would love to work with her if I would need to in the future.

I love working with Sarah. She is a good listener and I love that she already knows most of our topics before our session even starts because she spent time looking over my journal.

The times I have reached out to Sarah she has responded back in a timely manner. I thought I wouldn't be able to reach out to her when an issue comes up, but surprisingly it's easy to. So far I'm satisfied with her as my counselor and wait to see more progress and improvement as we continue this journey.
