Sara Martinez Bueno

Hello! If old family patterns still feel like they are running your life, you are not alone,

and you can change that. I am Sara, a bilingual (English and Spanish) Licensed Clinical

Social Worker offering virtual therapy across Nevada to adults working through

trauma, addiction recovery, and major life transitions. A core focus of my practice is

helping you untangle unhealthy family dynamics that created deep-rooted barriers, so

you can break free from old conditioning and build healthier boundaries moving

forward.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, active, and tailored entirely to your unique goals. I combine evidence-based practices, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reframe negative thought patterns, Mindfulness to keep you grounded, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy for practical day-to-day coping mechanisms. Operating from a deeply trauma-informed lens, I also integrate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help safely process distressing life events and alleviate the emotional weight of past experiences.

Your first session is a safe, non-judgmental space focused entirely on understanding your story. We will start by gently exploring what brings you to therapy, discussing your current challenges, and identifying what meaningful growth looks like for you. Rather than a rigid interview, it is a comfortable dialogue where we begin building trust, establishing a clear roadmap for your healing, and ensuring you leave with a sense of hope and a clear path forward.
