Sara Abels

As a licensed professional counselor, I specialize in trauma treatment and PTSD, perinatal mental health, birth story healing, parenting, divorce, and adolescent and family therapy. I work with individuals ages 15 and older and families of all ages. My expertise is in EMDR therapy although will often incorporate interventions such as somatic work, mindfulness practices, attachment theory, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, parts work, and polyvagal theory.

I offer an intuitive approach to therapy drawing on my experiences as a counselor, yoga teacher, educator, and parent. I specialize in helping adolescents, adults, and parents navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and perinatal mental health, always creating a safe, grounded, and collaborative space for healing.

Clients often describe our sessions as validating and empowering — a place where real movement happens. Whether we’re working through deep-rooted trauma or everyday stressors, I bring warmth, curiosity, and a belief in your capacity to heal and grow. Therapy with me is compassionate, validating, and personalized to meet your unique needs and goals.
