If you have made it this far into your therapeutic journey, I congratulate you. It takes courage to acknowledge that you may need a little help in life. Therapy is not a job for me; it is a passion! It is both a joy and a privilege to accompany my clients on their personal journeys toward a healthier, happier life.
Because I understand that we are living in a constantly busy world, I envision therapy as a time for my clients to regroup, reflect, and tackle their issues in a safe, calm, and non-judgmental environment. It is vital to find a therapist that you feel comfortable with, that you believe understands you, and most importantly that you can trust. My clients find that I am an empathetic listener with a warm and direct approach. I am not only focused on your long-term goals for therapy, but what you need at the moment. I practice from a Systems based collaborative stance, but often will draw on numerous different therapeutic theories to provide people with what they need in the room.
I have a deep respect and admiration for anyone who chooses to reach out for help, no matter the issue. I have been able to practice in numerous environments, including private practice, nonprofits, elementary schools, boarding schools, and telehealth. Due to this, I have had experiences with clients who present with issues ranging from marriage/relationship issues, parenting conflicts, teenage behavioral troubles, substance abuse, LGBTQ+ identity struggles, and those that are kink-curious.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Sarah Dunlap. 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.
Dr. Dunlap is a saint. I've been seeing therapists for years and she is the best of the best. I have been seeing Dr. Dunlap for a couple years now and my life is immeasurably improved directly because of her help. She's by far the most insightful therapist I've ever had, but also one of the most insightful people I've ever met. I feel no pressure and no stress about our appointments, and I couldn't imagine what a better therapist would even look like. Dr. Dunlap provides an 11/10 therapy experience.

Dr. Dunlap is so easy to talk to. She is relatable & really hears you when you talk. It feels like having a conversation with someone you know & isn't at all clunky or impersonal

Dr. Dunlap is a wonderfully down-to-earth counselor. I joined betterhelp.com looking for a highly analytic and well-versed counselor who would understand that perhaps I myself know "too much" about therapy myself. However, I got the best of both worlds! Dr. Dunlap not only pushes me to talk about my thoughts and feelings without using psychological terms as fallbacks, but she is also a super well-rounded person who connects with me. A+ experience with Dr. Dunlap after nearly half a year. (:

Dr. Dunlap is able to tap into what you mean and what you're feeling very quickly and help you sort it out. She is very knowledgable, respectful, and kind. She listens very well.
