Sarah Barrett Lepore

Sarah Barrett Lepore

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Amherst, OH


I came to this work through a deep personal journey of understanding what it means to be truly healed on emotional, psychological, and physical levels. I believe that separation from self is the root cause of suffering in body and mind. By identifying these specific fragments, there is an opportunity for true, lasting, restorative healing.

I work with clients experiencing extreme anxiety and depression, grief, insomnia, CPTSD/PTSD, and relationship issues. I also have experience with eating disorder and addiction recovery, as well as extreme attachment disruption from childhood trauma.

My communication style is one of inquisitiveness. I encourage curiosity, non-judgment, and no attachment to outcome. My tone varies depending on what is needed for the healing process. I have a compassionate, caring presence. My work is highly attuned, present, and reflective of what is presented in session.

Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to managing everything on your own. I work with adults, including many caregivers who are balancing a lot and may feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure how to prioritize themselves while caring for others.

I’ve supported clients navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and parenting stress.

I also bring extensive experience working with children and adolescents (ages 4–21), which allows me to support parents with a deeper understanding of child and adolescent development. This helps caregivers better understand their child’s behavior and feel more confident in how they respond at home.

I view therapy through a person-centered humanistic lens. Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers, and their lives. Therapy with me promotes fostering therapeutic connections within a safe, and non-judgmental space where clients can feel free to express their emotions, explore their strengths, recognize their potential, and move toward achieving their goals.

Charles Hester

Therapist

Counseling for me is about companionship! Companions are with you through the good and the not-so-good. The most important thing in counseling is creating a relationship where people can feel and think how they want to about their experience within the relationship because whether we are stepping in the right or wrong direction we are ever growing and changing. Everyone perceives life through a different lens. Biological, physiological, and environmental variables influence those perspectives in different domains of people’s lives. All ages with: Anxiety, Depression, Addictions, Schizo and Mood Spectrum, Paraphallic, and Trauma.
