Sarah Brois

Therapist

Virtual • Gilbert, AZ


I’m Sarah, a therapist who helps people slow down, listen to their bodies, and reconnect with parts of themselves that have felt overlooked or misunderstood. My approach is warm, gentle, and trauma-informed, drawing from CBT, DBT, and body-based techniques. I especially enjoy working with neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ clients, those rebuilding trust in themselves and others. I aim to create a space that feels emotionally safe, shame-free, and even sprinkled with humor - where we can both sit in discomfort and find lightness along the way.

Are you exhausted with having to seem “okay”? Do you feel disconnected from yourself, or the people you love? Many of us want to have a more harmonious relationship with ourselves and the world around us, but don't know where to start. Whether you want to find your zest for life, process trauma that is holding you back, or better manage mental illness, I would love to help you on your journey.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and trauma, and I recognize that mental health doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Gender roles, cultural expectations, and systemic stress shape how we cope—and how we suffer.
