Sarah Crane O'Neill, PLLC
Satisfying and healing as they can be, our relationships can also take tremendous work and be painful and disappointing at times. Individual counseling with me is a safe space to download and digest what’s feeling good and not so good in your current or past relationships, be they with an intimate partner, family, friends, or people in your workplace or community. With plenty of time and space to just feel your feelings and explore your experiences, together we can gently look at what’s coming up for you, and how you want to respond both internally towards yourself and externally towards others.
I am fairly focused on the here-and-now, although sometimes when clients are feeling ready and open, we can explore whether and how past relationships and old hurts might be surfacing for you. We can consider what happened in the past and your thoughts and feelings about it then and now. We can also determine what you’d like to take away from the experiences, and how you’d like to be informed by them now. Sometimes working to heal a past hurt helps heal the present one, or vice versa.
I have five years of clinical experience working exclusively as a couples counselor and couples workshop facilitator, before I discovered my love for individual counseling. Although this expertise in relationships informs me, my work with you is focused on your personal, unique experience.
I’m a strong believer that individual counseling can work beautifully in tandem with couples or family counseling, whether done at the same time or one at a time in focused chunks. Although I do not provide couples counseling at this time, I can provide referrals to couples/family counselors if you are interested, and also coordinate with such a provider, with your permission, to help ensure effective intervention and care.
