About me
Hello! I am so glad you are here. My name is Sara Barber and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been working professionally in mental health for the last 3 years. During that time I have worked with individuals of all ages, from children to adults experiencing everything from anxiety and depression to family dysfunction, developing coping skills and self-care plans, big life transition and adjustments, low self-esteem and confidence, and LGBTQ+ issues.
My goal as a therapist is to meet you where you are. Attending therapy for the first time or the millionth time is never easy, I strive to make our time together positive and productive even when discussing and exploring difficult topics. I believe that therapy should be a space where you can feel safe to explore and discuss whatever it is that is creating difficulty in your life as well as a space to celebrate your accomplishments and achievements.
We live in a society where seeking therapeutic help is not talked about or encouraged. You have made it to this step and I am proud of you.

I feel listened to when I talk to Sara. I'm offered a variety of techniques that might help me with my anxiety, and I feel better after every session.

Sara has been a fantastic therapist for my entire time with Betterhelp. They have helped me to recognize the strength within myself to help conquer the challenges life has thrown my way. They are very supportive and understanding. They try their best to understand the struggles I'm going through and help provide perspective to my problems. Sara is an awesome therapist and I would recommend them to anyone.
Written on Sep 22, 2022 after therapy with Sara for 4 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue
Sara has helped me with many life breakthroughs with her weekly sessions. I feel safe talking to Sara, and I'm beginning to feel better about my inner spirit. The person I am day by day is valued no matter how critical I am of myself. Sara is helping me uncover many areas in my life where I struggle and find the underlying reasons I may feel that way. Sara recommends great resources and understanding, which is an excellent method for my trauma, depression, panic attacks, and anxiety.

My experience with Sara has been utterly fantastic. She is honest, caring and really allows me to open up. I truly look forward to my sessions every single week. She has equipped me with so many techniques that have changed my life (!). She has been on a journey with me, and I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you Sara
