Hi there!
I’m Sarah, an adult and adolescent therapist here at Amy Robbins Counseling.
We’re so happy that you are here exploring which therapist feels right for you. In my work, I see adults and adolescents (11+) for individual therapy who are navigating challenges like depression, anxiety, and mood regulation.
I have found myself with a lot of “highly self-aware” clients who tend to be big thinkers, and I work with this population to connect to the body and the nervous system in a way that may not always mirror traditional talk therapy. I value a somatic (body-based) approach just as much as a cognitive (thinking-based) approach.
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. I find that clients with chronic pain or illness find my somatic practices to hold them in a different way than strictly talk therapy.
*I have a special interest in supporting those struggling with body image concerns or disordered eating patterns. This could be for the chronic dieter looking to break the cycle or someone seeking a more positive relationship with food and their body. I’m a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and prioritize self-compassion, and gentle nurturing of the body’s wisdom. I encourage clients to cultivate mindful awareness and reconnect with their bodies’ natural signals.
My therapeutic space is welcoming and inclusive, where all genders can feel safe to heal, free from guilt and shame. I learn more every day about how to create safety for my clients inside and outside of the therapy room. My therapeutic approach draws from Humanistic, somatic, attachment theory, and is 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 with me are $165 per session. I offer virtual sessions and in-person sessions at Kirkwood and Grant Park locations (Sundays available at Kirkwood).
As an APC, I remain under the guidance of my clinical director, Amy Robbins, and my clinical supervisor, Kristy Aspinwal.
Please feel free to reach out via email or text if you’d like to schedule a session or set up a free consultation to see if I’m the right fit for you.

Warmly,
Sarah
