Sara Spotswood, LPC

I specialize in working with adults, teens, and families navigating a wide range of emotional and relational challenges, including trauma, communication breakdowns, and identity-related stress. I’ve supported veterans adjusting to civilian life, LGBTQ+ couples strengthening their relationships, and families working to rebuild connection and trust. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in a deep respect for each patient’s unique story.

In sessions, I show up as genuine because therapy works best when the relationship feels honest and human. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where patients feel seen and heard. Whether we’re exploring painful memories, working on setting boundaries, or building new coping tools, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and clarity.

Clinically, I specialize in treating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, family violence, life transitions, and self-worth concerns. I also work with children and adolescents on issues such as behavior regulation, ADHD, parent-child conflict, and self-harm. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and draw from Adlerian principles, focusing on relational dynamics and the importance of belonging and connection. My work is informed by a trauma-sensitive lens and a deep understanding of how early experiences shape us and who we can become.
