Hi, Iā€™m Sarah Nicholson.

As we move through life, we develop ways of relating to ourselves and to others that keep us emotionally or physically safe.  Over time we may recognize that these old ways of being are no longer serving us. I can help you understand your core emotional experiences and to befriend your deeper internal world.

I will create a space that feels safe for you to do this work. I will support you as you grow confident in your emotional regulation to step out of old patterns and be guided into and through vulnerability. From these deep emotional encounters comes the potential to experience a new relationship with yourself and with others in the present moment.

Qualifications & Modalities

I have advanced training in a variety of therapeutic approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) but am primarily driven by my training and experience with emotionally focused individual therapy (EFIT). As a seasoned therapist I draw from these approaches as well as elements of mindfulness to tailor my work to meet the unique needs of each individual I work with. My style is active and collaborative.

If you feel called to address challenges in your life and discover the possibilities of living in attunement, I invite you to take the first step towards transformation with Attuned Psychotherapy.

Clinical Specialties

I am skilled at working with anxiety, depression, feelings of low self-worth, unhealed wounds from past unmet needs, life transitions, and relationship challenges.
