Sara L Westendorff

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 5 years experience in community mental health providing therapy to children and adults. My areas of focus include parental identity development, gender and sexuality, intimate relationship growth, and ethical non-monogamy. I enjoy helping individuals, couples, and families find compassionate and strengths-focused ways of looking at themselves in order to create the change they want for themselves.I am interested in helping parents to-be and parents at all stages create their own versions of healthy, fun, and realistic parenting in today’s hurried and stressed society. I believe in acknowledging the intersections of our race, gender, sexuality, education, ability, family history, and social and cultural education. These identities define who we tell ourselves we “should” be. Therapy helps review these facets, determine what works, and practice skills to have effective and realistic ways of relating to the world. I believe that therapy helps us see that change can be harnessed to make our world more fulfilling, joy-filled, and peaceful. If you are looking for change-oriented therapy to explore the relationships you have with yourself, partners, friends, or children of all ages, please call me. I look forward to the journey we will take together.
