Sarah Kraft, LMSW

Are you stressed out? Is the political climate worrying you? Is the season bringing you down? Lets see what we can do to ease how you're feeling.

I believe in working to develop a therapeutic relationship where you feel connected, supported, and safe. This is a collaborative process, and I hope to be an assistant in your recovery journey. I understand trust is important to your ability to work through what you need for wellness, and it can take time.

If you are struggling with a deeper rooted condition, I specialize in researched, proven to be effective therapy models that can offer those with the conditions they are designed for a lot of relief, if not resolution of the diagnosis. When ready, I encourage my clients to make use of those therapies. Often, it can be hard work, but my graduates would tell you that to say “it’s worth it” is an understatement.

I graduated from University of Michigan School of Social Work in 2001 where I learned Motivational Interviewing, still a staple in my approach. I practiced as a therapist years ago on child abuse and neglect cases for families in the protective services and foster case systems. For 10 years, I worked with adults in community mental health where I helped people facing a severe level of symptoms. During this time, I studied and practiced CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), and RO DBT (Radically Open Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) for conditions of overcontrol.

Whether you believe I am the right “click in” therapist for you, or not, I appreciate the steps for wellness and recovery you are taking. That shows courage, and I hope you will continue to follow that path.
