Sarah Behrens, LMFT

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are. So who do you

ultimately want to be? What is going on in your life to cause stress or strife? What can we change or take out to improve things? Are you communicating effectively with your adolescent or loved ones? Life can throw many different obstacles that cause stress, anxiety, depression, and a breakdown of relationships. One of the hardest relationships for parents or caregivers can be the one with their teenager.

​

As a marriage and family therapist I take a look at your entire life and not just the

person themself to facilitate change. With over five years of experience in a variety of settings, I am confident we can work to change your life for the better so you can feel more at peace.

​

I am a solution-focused therapist with CBT/DBT and trauma training looking to

change your mindset. I will collaborate with you or your teen in order to identify

goals and actively work on them while we work together.
