As a licensed clinical social worker and addictions specialist, my goal in our therapeutic relationship is to provide a safe space for you to reconnect either with yourself or with other like-minded women. We spend so much time and energy meeting the world's expectations that we often forget (or never learn) to define our own. I aim to use our time together to foster a connection that allows you to discover, explore and heal the authentic you!
I have a passion for providing education, grounding, and direction for women in transitional stages of life. My expertise includes (but is not limited to) work in the following areas: Identity development, codependency, attachment disruptions, trauma (including religious), work/school/life transitions, relationship building and re-entry/reintegration. My approach is both conversational and psychodynamic to allow us to genuinely connect. This fundamental element then allows tailoring a plan to your specific needs.
I will guide you in discovering and healing your authentic core through identity exploration, community development, and empowerment! My door is open to all including female/male-identifying, non-binary, and two-spirit individuals. I specialize in those with multicultural and ethnic backgrounds. I aim to provide a warm and non-judgmental environment to help you evolve!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sarinia Bishop. 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.
Sarinia was engaging and responsive! My first session was via chat but it was so impactful that it felt like an in-person session.
Written on Feb 11, 2026 after therapy with Sarinia for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, and coping with life changes
