Sarah Crane O'Neill, PLLC
Hello, and welcome!
I’m Sarah Crane O'Neill, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker based in Seattle, WA. Through individual counseling, I help hard-working, overwhelmed people find more peace, meaning, and joy in their everyday lives. Folks come to me with a wide array of challenges and hurts in their lives. I created this website so you can get a sense of whether I might be a good fit working with you and your specific wants and needs.
I know it's not easy asking for help. And, finding a good match in a counselor is key for a positive experience. If you have questions, or would like to meet for an initial consultation, I would love to hear from you.
Again, welcome.
My Approach
I intend to have a warm, non-judgmental, and down-to-earth style, with an interest in you and your experiences. I believe we are all inherently capable, worthy and valuable. I believe you have great strengths for us to home in on and develop -- and you are the expert between us, even if you feel lost right now. I draw from a combination of well-researched psychological theories and approaches, my over ten years of clinical experience, and my lived experience.
I believe in the healing power of relationships—both the relationship you have with yourself and your relationships with others. Research shows the quality of the relationship or "fit" between counselor and client is one of the most important factors for effective treatment. A good fit means that you feel comfortable with and understood by me, and I feel able to work effectively with you. This takes time to build, and we will have regular check-ins to ensure counseling is meeting your goals.
Services
In-Office Counseling
I have an office space in the Madrona Refuge building, located in the heart of the Madrona neighborhood of Seattle. The office is on the second floor but is ADA-accessible. Madrona has easy access from downtown, the eastside, and points north and south. Typically there is free street parking within 2 blocks. There are various seating options and openable windows.
Areas of Focus
Let's Get Started!
If you think I could be a good fit for you, or you have any questions, I look forward to hearing from you. The best way to inquire about my availability is to contact me via email or using the form on my website.
We will schedule a free 20 minute consultation by phone or video where I'll ask more about what brings you to counseling, any of your initial hopes / goals / fears about counseling, and I can tell you a little about how I might work with you and your specific issues. You can also ask me any questions you have. This way we can each have a chance to determine if we might be a good fit working together and if we'd like to schedule a first session.
