Hi there!
I’m Sarah, an APC and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. Taking steps toward improving your mental health and personal well-being is incredibly brave, and I’m honored that you’re considering me as your therapist. I work with adults and adolescents navigating challenges like depression, anxiety, mood regulation. I am available to clients with a wide variety of needs and would love to have a conversation about whether I am the right provider for you.
I have a special focus on those struggling with body image concerns or disordered eating patterns. Whether you’re a chronic dieter looking to break the cycle or someone seeking a more positive relationship with food and your body, I’m here to help. I encourage clients to cultivate mindful awareness and reconnect with their bodies’ natural signals. If you’d like, you can explore more of my approach in my recent blog: [Body Respect: Moving Away from Self-Objectification](https://amyrobbinscounseling.com/2024/05/03/body-respect-moving-away-from-self-objectification-2/).
I also see individuals managing chronic illness. Having personal experience with a POTS diagnosis, I understand firsthand the daily challenges that come with living with a chronic condition, and I bring that empathy and insight into my sessions.
Additionally, I’m passionate about supporting those who have experienced religious trauma, especially individuals who felt marginalized or isolated due to their beliefs or LGBTQ+ identity. I strive to create a welcoming and inclusive space where all genders feel safe to heal, free from guilt and shame.
My therapeutic approach draws from client-centered therapy, attachment theory, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, always through a trauma-informed lens.
I take a holistic view, addressing the mind, body, and spirit, and often use somatic interventions to support nervous system healing.
Sessions are $165 per hour, and I’m happy to discuss a sliding scale if needed. I offer in-person sessions at my Kirkwood and Grant Park locations, as well as virtual appointments.
Under the guidance of my clinical director, Amy Robbins, and my clinical supervisor, Kristy Aspinwall, I aim to foster a compassionate, empathetic environment—where healing is accompanied by moments of humor and self-compassion.
Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to schedule a session or set up a free consultation to see if I’m the right fit for you.

Sarah
