Sara Ralph, LPC, NCC

Have you ever left a counseling session feeling like you talked for an hour but didn't actually get anywhere? I’ve had many women find me after having disappointing or frustrating experiences with therapy. If that sounds familiar, you may be looking for something different.

I’m not the kind of therapist who simply sits quietly and says, “uh huh.” I believe therapy should be collaborative, practical, and personal. Together, we’ll work to understand what is happening in your life, make sense of patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and identify meaningful steps toward greater confidence, clarity, peace, and healing.

I Work Primarily With Women and Young Adults

I specialize in working with women ages 18 and older, particularly young women navigating the challenges that come with adulthood and major life transitions. I work with women experiencing:

• Anxiety, overthinking, and feeling overwhelmed

• Relationship difficulties and unhealthy relationship patterns

• Grief and bereavement

• Major life transitions and uncertainty

• Feeling stuck and unsure what to do next

• Questions about identity, purpose, and direction

Many of my clients are capable, thoughtful women who are used to holding everything together for everyone else—but privately feel anxious, confused, overwhelmed, or unsure of themselves. Therapy can be a place where you don't have to have everything figured out.

It is a privilege for me to walk alongside women as they work toward healing, greater self-awareness, and a more confident sense of who they are.

Outside of counseling and teaching, I’m a mom to two young children. I’m an INFJ and a highly sensitive person (HSP), and I especially enjoy helping other introverts and highly sensitive people recognize their strengths and learn to thrive—although I work with plenty of extroverts and non-HSPs, too!

When I'm not working, you'll probably find me drinking good coffee, reading, growing flowers, exercising, or planning our family's next National Park adventure.

You don't have to figure everything out on your own. Therapy can be a place to slow down, gain clarity, and begin moving forward.
