Sarah Garbutt, LPC
Co-Founder and Therapist
My passion is helping others take a step towards a better future, and I will be there to guide you through your journey. I offer a safe and welcoming environment to promote personal growth, strengthen relationships, learn skills, and navigate the stressors of life to create a positive change.
I believe the key to change is knowledge, awareness, an avenue for healing and a positive mindset. I start by first understanding the type of change you desire, then helping you mobilize the next steps. Together, we’ll explore how to get to a place where your ups and downs in life are manageable. I believe people are much more capable of doing hard things than they believe. Therapy is not just about identifying strategies for making change, but for reminding people of their own power in making those changes happen.
The first four years of my career were spent working in Northern Michigan and Metro Detroit providing home-based services to children, teens, and their families. During those years I gained an eclectic array of services and utilized a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and Solution Focused to individuals ages 6 and up. I am certified in Trauma Focused CBT, which has been instrumental in helping children and teenagers who have endured trauma. I began working in private practice in 2019 and my experience includes working with children, teens, and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, anger, post-traumatic stress disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other mental health conditions.
My clients can expect an environment that is created to allow you to be your authentic self. I want the counseling space to be one in which you never feel shamed or judged for being who you are, but one where you feel known, validated, and respected.
Education: I graduated with a Master of Arts in Counseling from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology with a concentration in trauma.

Co-Founder and Therapist
I'm a firm believer that within the context of therapy, a healthy and trusting therapeutic relationship is the catalyst for change. In the spirit of building trust, below you will find some important information about me.
Currently a fully licensed social worker in Michigan, I started by earning my bachelors in psychology from Olivet College, followed by my Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan. My prior experience includes working as a crisis clinician and outpatient therapist at community mental health agencies in both Northern and Southern Michigan. I've also held the role of behavioral health consultant, in which I worked directly with patients in pediatric and OBGYN offices, and assisted doctors in connecting with psychiatrists to better treat their patients with mental health concerns. I have received advanced training in somatic- and attachment- focused Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (S.A.F.E. EMDR), which research has found to be an effective treatment for trauma, anxiety and depression, and other common mental health issues. Dependent upon client needs, I also pull from other evidenced-based modalities, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT).
Throughout my clinical experience, I've developed a real passion for working with young women and women. I tend to work best with women who have experienced trauma, grief & loss, pregnancy & fertility issues, and those in the healing/helping professions. Each person's narrative is so unique and important, and by utilizing EMDR, IFS, and other therapy modalities, we can work to change your narrative from one of struggle and hurt to one of strength and growth.
When I'm not working with clients, I love getting crafty with home DIY projects, spending too much money on good coffee, trying to keep my plants alive, and getting cozy with my kitties.
