Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience working as therapist and life coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, with a special focus in adoption and foster care issues. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I consider the client/therapist relationship to be the most important thing in counseling. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines trauma-focused, solution focused and motivational interviewing counseling styles. . I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
Additional areas of focus:Addictions, LGBT, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Sleeping disorders, Anger management, Self esteem, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, Coping with life changes, Compassion fatigue, ADHD, Abandonment, Adoption and Foster Care, Attachment issues, Family of Origin Issues, Family Problems, Fertility Issues, Isolation / loneliness, Life purpose, Mood disorders , Multicultural Concerns, Post-traumatic stress, Prejudice and Discrimination, Women's issues
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sara DeRoo. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I am so grateful I found Sara. She has helped me work through 2 decades of emotional abuse from my in laws, parenting issues, marriage problems and childhood trauma responses. I look forward to talking with her and always feel so refreshed, empowered and encouraged after our sessions.

Sara is absolutely fantastic. Whether we are getting into the deep and hard stuff or just chatting about general life goals she always shows the same level of interest and genuine compassion. She is an excellent therapist and I’m so lucky to have found her!

Written on Nov 09, 2021 after therapy with Sara for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and depression
I’ve always struggled with the idea of counselling. I had trust issues and felt like I wasn’t understood. Sara has changed my perspective and reality of counselling. She has been extremely helpful, dedicated and has made me feel like I matter and that my issues are relevant and not something to be swept under the rug. I truly appreciate the development she has helped me gain.

Sara's been really helpful, listens very carefully, and kindly explains everything in a reassuring manner. I would definitely recommend anyone to see her! She makes me feel really comfortable, and doesn't mind to have a session through chat, phone or video. She's very caring and warm, but also professional in her work.
Written on Aug 19, 2021 after therapy with Sara for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, self esteem, career difficulties, compassion fatigue, and adhd
Sara has been amazing. She really takes the time to understand you personal situation and isn’t shy to share her opinion which is much appreciated (and a welcome relief from the traditional “how did that make you feel? What do you think you should do?”).
Highly recommend!!

Sara is a great listener, she is very personable and has helped me to identify some very key areas in my life that have been causing my anxiety/depression. She provides great resources to reflect on outside of counselling sessions and asks really good questions to get me thinking.

Sara was really good in understanding my issues and teach me to manage them properly
This is my first time using therapy / counselling and the benefits outweighed my initial reticence in engaging , I would highly recommend Sara to anyone who needs or thinks they would benefit from counselling

She does a wonderful job of listening while being able to connect and encourage you at the same time I really enjoy talking to her and like how she checks on me through the week.

She is so kind and helpful. She takes time to get to know you as a person while she tries to help you out. I get anxious about talking on the phone and video chatting people I don’t know well, so she let our first session take place over live chat messages instead. She’s very understanding.
