Hello! My name is Sara Carpenter, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in the state of Colorado. I graduated from the University of Kansas with a Master's Degree in Social Work with a Clinical Concentration in 2014. My clinical experience has included inpatient, outpatient and in-home work with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families.
I work from a client-centered approach, using strengths-based therapeutic modalities. I often utilize aspects of Motivational Interviewing in sessions in an effort to meet each client where they are and support them as they set and reach the goals they long to meet in their personal life. I also utilize aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the practice of mindfulness to assist clients in moving out of unhelpful thought patterns with positive coping skills and thought processes. It is important to me, as your clinician, that your hopes and desires drive the direction of our time together. I genuinely look forward to coming alongside you in your efforts toward growth and change. You've already made the brave step to seek out support and be willing to receive feedback. You are on your way to something new!

Sara has been incredibly helpful since I started therapy. She's helped me feel comfortable with what I'm feeling and accepted my behaviors even if they weren't benefiting me in the moment or felt like a backtrack in my progress. She would help me understand my motivations and help me plan for the next time I'm in that situation. I always felt supported by her no matter what, even when I had a session where I was in a bad/depressed mood, I always felt better after talking with her. She helped me identify key ways for me to set boundaries and create structure in my life when the pandemic hit and those things vanished. I highly recommend Sara, she's very nice, very insightful, and truly just wants to see you succeed.

Sara was an absolute pleasure to work with! I felt wholly supported, listened to, and important the entire time I worked with her and I believe that so much of my personal growth has been due to her caring and empathetic approach to our sessions. I genuinely could not have asked for a better match and I will carry her wisdom and wonderful energy with me as I move forward.

Sara has been very helpful and understanding. She helps me tackle big happenings in my life with grace, while also helping to understand the why of the ways I have been feeling. I am happy that we can experience this journey together.

I’ve only had a couple meetings with Sara and they have been fantastic. She has been validating my experiences and giving me plenty of time to reflect on different feelings and life experiences. It’s been a great couple weeks and I’m excited to continue therapy sessions with Sara.
