Sarah E Grove

I value the power of the relationship between therapist and client and honoring my clients is foundational to my practice. I have been described as warm, authentic, welcoming, loyal, and someone safe with whom to disclose deeper feelings and experiences. I attempt from the first session to hone in and appreciate my clients’ strengths, to listen deeply with genuine compassion, and to hold my clients’ shared story with great value and reverence. I seek to facilitate the therapy office as a place where the inner wisdom of the client– the inner self–can safely emerge. My clinical approach is eclectic and draws from diverse modalities of therapy. I tailor my approach to the needs and desires of each client. I am particularly attuned to the impact of external systems and socially imposed messages regarding ethnicity, gender identity, education, age, relationship status, religion, career, sexual orientation and beyond. I gratefully work with individuals, couples (LGBTQ-affirming), depression, anxiety, relationship issues, substance abuse, emotion-focused couples training, family of origin, person-centered therapy, marginalization, emerging adult concerns, creating meaning, employment/career issues, spiritual concerns, mindfulness, self-esteem, trauma, and life transitions.
