Sarah Mixson

Do you feel like you’re someone who has to hold everything together? Maybe you’re the person others can count on, and from the outside, it looks like you’re doing just fine. But internally, you may be overthinking, putting a lot of pressure on yourself, or feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.

I’m Sarah Mixson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and EMDR certified therapist who works with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, low self-esteem, boundary struggles, and the effects of difficult experiences. I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can be honest about what’s really going on without feeling judged or like you have to have everything figured out.

My approach is warm, genuine, and individualized. I want to understand you, not just what you’re struggling with, and work together to help you feel more confident, grounded, and comfortable being yourself.

As an EMDR therapist, I help clients process painful experiences, so they no longer have to carry the same emotional weight. I also draw from CBT, motivational interviewing, and ACT, tailoring our work to what you need. Together, we’ll work to understand the patterns that keep you stuck, process experiences that may still be affecting you, and build a stronger sense of confidence and self-trust.

In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other, talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, and explore what you hope will be different. If you’re not sure what your goals are yet, that’s completely okay, we can figure that out together. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and like you have a clearer sense of where we can begin. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you walk through the door.
