Sara Sroufe

Sara is trained as a Masters Level Social Worker, with a speciality in Clinical Social Work. Sara is passionate about helping others as they seek to find ways through difficult times of life. Sara grew up in rural Pennsylvania, and obtained a BA in Arts in Psychology in Virginia. Sara then moved to Michigan and attended Michigan State University where she completed her masters degree in 2006. Sara has worked as a counselor/therapist in Michigan ever since then!

An avid lover of the outdoors, Sara often drags her family outside to their gardens, goats, chickens, or woods. She has a coonhound named Cosmo, who loves to protect his family with his loud howl.

Sara is certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trained in CBT and EMDR and has years of training in areas such as trauma, anxiety, depression, relational problems, and social conflicts. Most importantly, Sara has learned and grown as a therapist from the many adults, adolescents, and children whom she has worked with throughout her 20 year career. Sara views herself as a directive therapist, and takes an active role in treatment. She highly values forming a treatment plan based on client preference, as the change process needs to start where the client is, and actively seeks input from her client's about what strategies are proving helpful and what adjustments can be made.

I want you to be comfortable. Our first session will include answering your questions, discussing expectations, and getting to know each other a little bit! Also, I will invite you to come for a 2nd session - if we feel like it's a good fit!
