Sara Hale, MEd, LPCC

I believe that people are more than the sum of things that have happened to them, and the core of my practice centers on partnering with clients and helping them build resiliency through life’s most difficult challenges. Using a holistic, culturally sensitive, strengths-based approach, I work with issues from trauma and adjustment difficulties to anxiety, depression, PTSD, stress, and life transitions. I use a variety of techniques to meet the unique needs of each individual, and I have the most experience with CBT, DBT, and person-centered therapy. I received my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Cleveland State University and my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from Southern Illinois University. Prior to counseling, I worked in a variety of settings with children, women, and underserved populations including low-income seniors, formerly homeless individuals, and formerly homeless veterans. As a counselor, I enjoy working with all ages to assist individuals in meeting their goals and creating lasting change.
