I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). My therapy approach is strength-based aimed to empower and motivate individuals. I have been trained in a variety of approaches incorporating mindfulness based therapy techniques and cognitive behavioral therapy. Additionally, I have had extensive training in narrative therapy which is founded on the premise that “the person is not the problem, the problem is the problem.” Emphasis in treatment is to help individuals increase a greater sense of self-awareness, mind-body connection, and support personal growth. This approach includes developing an improved understanding of current coping mechanisms and behavioral patterns to help identify when feeling stuck.

I want to begin by saying congrats on taking the step to sign up or just look at therapist options with BetterHelp. It does take courage and commitment to recognize things you are struggling with, and you should be proud of yourself for taking this step (even if you feel like you have nothing to be proud of yet). My name is Sarah Martin, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with over five years of experience working as a social worker and therapist. I have worked with people of all different ages and from a variety of different cultural, ethnic, sexual, and religious backgrounds. A large part of my work has been with individuals and families who have experienced trauma; I believe that acknowledging and starting to understand how trauma affects us is a foundation for our sense of self, as well as a stepping stone toward change. Additional areas of experience include anxiety/stress, depression, mood disorders, and coping with change. Whatever you may be struggling with, my primary goal is for you to feel safe, heard, and empowered. Sometimes therapy can be exciting and enlightening, and sometimes it can be hard and feel like work, but in both cases it works best when you feel comfortable and safe. I look forward to working with you!
