Sarah is the kind of counselor everybody in the field should hope to be. I had two different stays in a residential treatment program where Sarah was a counselor. I was in treatment for Substance Abuse.
She has a way of being both kind and tough. I didn’t need someone to co-sign my BS but I also wasn’t ready to hear too much about how messed up I was at the time. I don’t know how, but Sarah somehow managed to navigate the fine line between helping me honestly see the truth about myself without making me feel any of the self-loathing I had been struggling with. I can’t speak for others but in my case what I needed was a little hope and some sense of purpose. Somehow (either through experience, training or intuition) she knew that, and was able to help me start on a path toward finding both.
I can’t imagine anyone more able and qualified to help somebody like myself who may be caught up in the grips of addiction and/or engaging in any harmful or self-destructive behaviors.
Sincerely,
