Hi, I’m Sara, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Boulder with a Master of Social Work from NYU. I work with adults who are healing from trauma, going through big life changes, or asking “wait, who am I actually?” My approach is collaborative, warm, and authentic, because healing doesn’t have to be basic. My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself and feel more at home in your life and your relationships.

Suzanne DeMontigny

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 1.3 mi away • Boulder, CO


Difficulties and unresolved trauma from our past can influence our present in ways unknown to us. Our mind is very good at hiding our wounds from itself, and when this occurs, it can hijack our ability to experience life with curiosity, trust, and flexibility. Over the past 25 years of my practice in Colorado, I have found profound meaning in helping clients navigate these unseen hurdles. As a Licensed Professional Counselor who earned my degree from Naropa University, it is a true privilege to help adults, seniors, and couples establish a safe, empowering baseline for their care. I work with clients who are experiencing problems that are typically long-standing, repetitive, and significantly interfering with their life, specializing heavily in trauma, complex PTSD, dissociation, anxiety, and depression. Whether you are living with emotional pain, chronic shame, or disconnection from yourself, I look forward to walking alongside you on your path toward healing, helping you fully embody your true self.

Virtual & in-person • 1.2 mi away • Boulder, CO


Are you feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? Maybe anxiety or OCD is keeping you from living your life in the way that you would most enjoy. Or perhaps you are challenged by losses or life transitions which are difficult to face alone. Having a safe place to express your thoughts and feelings can make a difference.

I became a therapist after seeing the benefits of counseling and art therapy on both personal and professional levels. I’m a licensed professional counselor since 2011 and a board certified art therapist since 2022. I hold a Master’s degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Art Therapy. In addition to my degree, also have significant training in a variety of evidence based treatments, including ERP, CPT, Motivational Interviewing, CAMS and ACT.

My experiences with hospice patients and caregivers, seniors, people in addiction recovery, people in crisis, people struggling with anxiety, trauma, life transitions, cultural and social justice concerns, have inspired me to offer therapy in private practice. In my spare time, I love to cook, sing, hike, and make art.
