Sarah Betteley, MSW, LISW-S

Therapy is about regaining balance in life. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their emotions and navigate life's challenges.  I am passionate about guiding others on their journey to improved well-being. I believe in an individualized and strengths-based approach, meeting clients where they are in their healing process. 

In our sessions, I utilize somatic and nervous system-informed techniques that focus on the connection between the mind and body to address emotional and psychological issues. I also utilize mindfulness and relaxation practices, humor, journaling, art, as well as strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I am trained in the Flash Technique, an evidenced based therapeutic intervention that reduces the disturbance associated with traumatic or distressing memories. 

 I work with adults and my areas of expertise include addressing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, supporting individuals through life transitions and working with the LGBTQ+ population. I enjoy working with neurodiverse individuals, to include ADHD and Autism and strive to create a sensory friendly office experience (low lighting, fidgets, coloring materials and offering visuals/handouts). I have a Master's degree in Social Work from Cleveland State University. Outside of therapy, I enjoy reading, drinking lots of coffee and spending time with my husband and two young children.
