Sarah Turnpaugh, LCSW
About me
Life can be difficult, relationships can be painful, and we often feel alone. Everyone needs help and support at times and I would be honored to provide you with emotional support, encouragement, and the tools to have more balance in your life.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I have experience in providing therapy services to adults, adolescents, and their families to improve their overall quality of life, such as stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I’m an empathetic listener, meeting clients where they are and providing them with a respectful, comfortable, and safe environment to promote positive therapeutic outcomes.
Asking for help takes courage and strength and if you are ready to take that step, please request an appointment so we can discuss your unique situation. I look forward to assisting you in making the life changes you are seeking!

Sarah is very down to earth and approachable. Starting therapy can be very intimidating, but she makes it quite painless. She makes it easy to open up and gives a comforting environment to do so. Sarah is an awesome therapist that helps you apply strategies to real world situations. It took me several hours to find the right therapist, but I feel that I've found gold, she's helped me with so much in such a short period of time. Thank you!

She’s literally an angel. I was hesitant to start therapy again because I knew I’d have to re share old trauma/experiences, but she made it so easy. So incredibly kind, intelligent, and well-spoken. Highly recommend her!
