Family therapy and counseling in Portland, OR

It's not easy starting therapy and investing time in yourself, but you've already done the first step! My experience has primarily been focused in clients with eating disorders and co-occurring diagnoses. With that said, I also have extensive experience working with relationship challenges, anxiety, self-harm, and suicidality. I generally like to pull from my knowledge of various therapy modalities such as DBT, CBT, FBT and EFFT. I also really enjoy self-compassion work. Your goals are always my top priority, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

Outside of work, I enjoy live music, spending time with friends, and hanging out with my dogs, Nala and Toni. These personal interests help me stay grounded and bring balance to my life, which I believe is crucial for overall well-being.

If you're ready to take the next step, I'm here to help you navigate your journey towards healing and growth. Let's work together to achieve your goals!

I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, & depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage! I am here to support you in that process.

As a marriage & family therapist, I am experienced in guiding individuals, couples and families as they work through traumatic and complex situations.

I am here to join with you in your journey toward overcoming depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, perinatal distress, postpartum depression or other challenges you may be facing.

Upon request, I also provide Christian counseling to help individuals and families meet both their emotional and spiritual needs.

I want to help clients work through the issues that they are facing so that they can work towards their goals in their lives and relationships. Every person has innate strengths and I want to help clients to identify them and build on them so they can reach goals in treatment and in their lives. Ultimately, I want my clients to feel heard and supported in my practice and I hope to help them on their journey in finding positive change in their lives and relationships.

My therapy style is centered on warmth, empathy, and inclusivity. Drawing from my extensive experience working with diverse populations, I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where everyone feels heard, valued, and understood. Everyone brings unique experiences, and my goal is to ensure that our work together honors your cultural, spiritual, and personal life story.

I specialize in helping my clients feel more connected in family and love relationships. You may be a parent struggling with irritability and boundaries, a married person feeling resentful or overwhelmed by conflict with your partner, or someone feeling burdened by guilt or expectations in extended family relationships. These kinds of struggles can create feelings of isolation and loneliness, or the sense that you've developed a short fuse alternating with feelings of hopelessness. Problems in important relationships can lead to an impaired sense of self-worth, overwhelming guilt and shame, or a hypercritical inner voice.

Hi, I’m Sarah Kuretzky, a Licensed Professional Counselor with graduate training in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling. I work with individuals, couples, and families using a trauma-informed, compassionate, and practical approach. I specialize in anxiety, trauma responses, relationship patterns, emotional regulation, body image, women’s health issues, hormone-related mood changes, sexual dysfunction, parenting stress, and life transitions. My style is collaborative and direct, helping clients reduce shame, build insight, regulate emotions, communicate more clearly, and create meaningful change.

My ideal client knows something isn’t working—even if they can’t name it. They may feel anxious, numb, overwhelmed, stuck in patterns, or burdened by trauma, addiction, grief, or shame. Many carry pain from early relationships that still affects their lives. What matters most is a willingness to show up and go deep. Therapy with me is collaborative, direct, and emotionally rich. I work best with people ready to explore discomfort, face what’s been avoided, and commit to real, lasting change.
