Welcome to my practice, One Step Forward Counseling, PLLC.! My name is Sara Bell and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I have been working in the therapy field for over 9 years. I have worked with children, teens, young adults, and adults. I have a main focus on trauma and brainspotting. I am not a Christian counselor, but I am a Christian who is also a counselor.
I am a LCWS-R (NY)/LISW-CP(SC) with over 20 years of clinical experience across a variety of settings including: school social work, outpatient specialty clinics, crisis intervention, structured outpatient programs, inpatient psychiatric facilities, large non-profits, and private practice.
I am a Christian Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience walking alongside youth, adults, and families through the many chapters of life. My passion is to see every person connected to my work step into the fullest version of who God created them to be. I firmly believe in the power of His Word to remind us of our purpose, His plans, and the truth of how deeply we are loved.
It is my heart’s desire that each individual I serve experiences healing from the inside out. Restoring of peace, renewing of hope, and empowering them to shine their light everywhere they go.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience supporting children, families, and adults in schools, community programs, and inpatient treatment settings. With master’s degrees in human Behaviors & Conflict Management and Professional Counseling, I take an open‐minded and collaborative approach to care.
My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore, heal, and grow. I believe in partnering with clients from all backgrounds and offering practical, compassionate, evidence‐based support to help you build the life you want.
I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from California University of Pennsylvania in 2020. Since then, I’ve worked with children and adults facing depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, and some substance use, also at a psychiatrist hospital and with youth in the juvenile system. I’m a first-generation Nigerian American and the creative “black sheep” of my family. I bring empathy, authenticity, and individuality into my therapy practice, helping clients heal and grow.
