Expert Support for Your Mental Health After Trauma

Our Approach

At Sarah Cline & Associates, we stand alongside our clients, guiding them through the journey of healing from trauma with empathy and understanding.

We help clients uncover and understand patterns in thinking and behavior that may contribute to their challenges, all while fostering a compassionate, non-judgmental environment.

Our approach instills hope, emphasizing that recovery is possible and that feelings of well-being can be restored over time. We leverage our expertise to help clients comprehend the impact of trauma on their mental health, equipping them with the tools to manage their experiences more effectively.

Compassion is at the core of our practice. We encourage self-compassion and compassion for others, helping clients challenge the notion that they must be perfect or that mental health struggles diminish their worth.

Additionally, we support clients in questioning and overcoming societal expectations that do not serve their well-being, empowering them to lead fulfilling lives free from the burdens of trauma.

 

A Typical Session

During a 55-60 minute session, your therapist will provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to share your experiences. You are encouraged to discuss your progress, challenges, and areas where you need support.

The therapist will listen attentively, ask thoughtful questions, and offer insights or feedback. Sessions are an open dialogue and may include:

  • Trauma-Informed Care: Understanding and validating your trauma experiences.
  • Mindfulness Techniques: Utilizing body scanning and guided imagery to process emotions.
  • Cognitive Restructuring: Practicing skills to shift unhelpful thinking patterns.
  • Emotional Regulation: Learning techniques to manage and soothe intense emotions.
  • Grounding Strategies: Developing practical methods to stay present and reduce anxiety.

Our compassionate counselors are here to support you through your healing journey, helping you to reclaim your sense of safety and empowerment. At Sarah Cline & Associates, we are committed to walking alongside you as you navigate the path to recovery and resilience.
