About me

Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations. Life poses many challenges. Learning to face, cope with, and resolve these challenges, when we are ready, can increase our resilience and our ability to relate well with others. We are all unique. Our individual life experiences shape who we are. Sarah is a firm believer that with willingness, hard work and the development and practice of new skills, anyone can improve their quality of life and increase their happiness.

Sarah Robb is an LISW-S (Licensed Independent Social Worker Supervisor) and an LICDC (Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor). She is a married mother of 2 children and enjoys spending time with her kids and family as much as possible. She also enjoys crafts (cross stitch, crochet and cricut creations, among other things) and also loves her animals (dog, cat, fish and cockatiel) and loves to swim and go boating!

While being considerate of trauma informed care practices, Sarah offers patient guidance and utilizes a person-centered approach to therapy. She employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) strategies, motivational interviewing techniques and family systems theory to assist individuals in obtaining their very best quality of life.

Currently, I am offering TEXT/MESSAGE based counseling ONLY and do not offer live video or phone call sessions.
This is purely due to my limited availability at this time.

Sarah has experience supporting individuals and groups. She has worked as a mental health case manager, director of residential group homes for individuals with severe and persistent mental illness, and as a manager of two residential treatment facilities providing intensive treatment for addiction. Sarah has counseled adults with dual diagnosis seeking help for addiction and mental health treatment.

Sarah has been excellent with helping me work through some major life changing situations, daily anxieties, and teaching me how to be a better person in general! I would definitely recommend Sarah! She listens to understand, replies quickly, and has amazing resources to help with any situation! In just the short 3 weeks Ive been working with Sarah I have become more confident, calmer, and understanding of the life situations Ive been going through over the last 9 months, and it feels so good to not be doing it on my own anymore!

Sarah is amazing. I am truly thankful to have been able to talk with her over the past few months. She has always listened with no judgment, and has provided scientifically sound advice when applicable.
