You are doing hard and scary work as you search for a therapist. You want to find the right therapist for you and that is why I offer a free, no-obligation consultation where you can ask your questions and get an idea of what I'm like. As a neurodivergent person (ADHD) with a family that is entirely neurodivergent (half have ADHD, half are autistic), I enjoy working with neurodivergent clients. I am certified in treating both autism and ADHD. I also am certified in treating complex trauma and specialize in working with clients with Dissociative Identity Disorder and OSDD. In all cases, I like to focus on your strengths and I will work with you to find the skills and techniques that are the right solutions for your particular needs. I like to provide a lot of education along the way, so that you can understand what is happening, why it's happening, and so you can make informed decisions about your treatment. I am non-confrontational and like to partner with you to work toward your goals. Just like you are unique, my approach to treating you will be individualized. My approach is both attachment-informed and trauma-informed and evidence-based. Although we're often talking about difficult or painful topics, we can often find humorous moments and share a laugh that lightens the load. You can learn a lot more about me and my approach at my website.

Sara Johnson-Cardona
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hi! I am a Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist and am also trained in EMDR and Sensorimotor psychotherapy (L1). My highest value when it comes to providing therapy is you deserve the absolute best quality, and I am dedicated to my own training and consultation in order to provide you with the care you deserve. I am passionate about guiding people towards their own healing, and believe in each individual's capacity to live a life that is most true to themselves and that feels peaceful and balanced. I understand that may sound impossible right now, and all you need to start is the tinest hope that a different way of living and that healing could be possible. People sometimes ask how I can do this job, and repeatedly hear the darkest moments of people's lives, and my answer is simple, I get to see people heal every single day. Being a witness to that is sacred to me and is a tremendous honor. I cannot wait to support you. I have found (and research supports) that online therapy is extremely convenient and effective way of providing therapy, and can actually be less intimidating for many.

I am drawn to raw unfiltered courage. Going to therapy a brave choice and it takes tenacity and grit to feel differently and make changes in our lives. When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own our stories, we become the author who writes the brave new ending. Together we will examine the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are holding you back identify the new choices and practices that will move you toward more authentic and wholehearted living. Rarely is that decision a whim or an impulse, and most likely you've been thinking about this for a while. Now here you are; being curious and maybe nervous and scared at the same time. In my opinion - that is bravery and brave things are rarely comfortable, but always worth trying.
Whether you are looking to make a shift in your relationships, provide help and guidance for your children, or you have reached a point in your own life where you no longer want to "figure it out alone"- you have come to a good place to get moving. It can get better.
We all struggle at times - with anxiety, depression, and stress - along with the circumstances in our lives that contribute to these feelings. The "feelings" themselves are never wrong. Where we get into trouble (and can feel stuck in them) is when we can't make sense of it all and isolation creeps in. You're not in this alone.
