More about Sarinia

  • 8 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

As a licensed clinical social worker and addictions specialist, my goal in our therapeutic relationship is to provide a safe space for you to reconnect either with yourself or with other like-minded women. We spend so much time and energy meeting the world's expectations that we often forget (or never learn) to define our own. I aim to use our time together to foster a connection that allows you to discover, explore and heal the authentic you!

I have a passion for providing education, grounding, and direction for women in transitional stages of life. My expertise includes (but is not limited to) work in the following areas: Identity development, codependency, attachment disruptions, trauma (including religious), work/school/life transitions, relationship building and re-entry/reintegration. My approach is both conversational and psychodynamic to allow us to genuinely connect. This fundamental element then allows tailoring a plan to your specific needs.

I will guide you in discovering and healing your authentic core through identity exploration, community development, and empowerment! My door is open to all including female/male-identifying, non-binary, and two-spirit individuals. I specialize in those with multicultural and ethnic backgrounds. I aim to provide a warm and non-judgmental environment to help you evolve!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
