Sarah Lawson
Supervisee in Social Work (MSW)
Are you a creative, sensitive searcher who is realizing that protecting your wellbeing can come with real costs — grief, distance, or hard boundary conversations? Maybe you find yourself bargaining internally, trying to locate words or strategies you were never actually taught. Safety can feel complicated when those you've felt closest to undermine your reality. Therapy with Sarah makes room for careful pacing, autonomy, and healing that doesn’t ask you to minimize what it took to survive — or what it costs to change.
Sarah works with queer and COVID-conscious clients navigating loss, boundary setting, trauma recovery, and the impact of relationship violence. Their ACT-informed, trauma-aware approach centers care, curiosity, and client autonomy, with attention to safety, consent, and sustainable healing.
