Sara Gillooly
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPCC
As a queer and AuDHD therapist myself, I have lived experience in learning how to live a life that feels more authentic and grounded. I specialize in working with queer, highly sensitive, and neurodivergent adults struggling with the impacts of trauma as well as feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, difficult family relationships, and identity exploration. Ultimately, I'm not interested in "treating" your neurodivergence but I will support you wholeheartedly in navigating the complexities that come with it.

Jaclyn Epstein-Calvert
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Anxiety can show up in many ways—racing thoughts, difficulty relaxing, irritability, sleep challenges, or feeling constantly “on edge.” In therapy, we explore both the emotional and nervous system patterns that contribute to anxiety, helping clients better understand why their mind and body respond the way they do.
My approach integrates relational therapy, attachment-based work, and neuroscience-informed strategies to support emotional regulation and resilience. Together, we work to identify underlying stressors, develop practical coping tools, and create healthier patterns that allow clients to feel more grounded, confident, and present in their daily lives. Therapy provides a supportive space to slow down, gain clarity, and build the skills needed to navigate anxiety with greater ease.

I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, overthinking, and performance pressure. Treatment focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns, reducing avoidance behaviors, and strengthening coping skills that support emotional regulation and nervous system balance.
Through evidence-based strategies, clients learn how to manage anxious thoughts, tolerate uncertainty, and respond to challenges with greater clarity and self-trust.

When Anxiety Takes Over
Life can feel overwhelming when your mind never seems to rest. If you’re constantly worried, tense, or replaying conversations in your head, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to keep living that way. I specialize in helping women whose lives look “fine” on the outside but feel anything but calm on the inside. You may find yourself overthinking every decision, doubting your worth, or feeling frozen when it’s time to speak up or say no. You might notice that your fears — of judgment, rejection, or failure — keep you from showing up fully in your work, relationships, or daily life.
If you relate to this, I can help you learn how to quiet the mental noise and create more space for peace, confidence, and genuine connection. Using a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT, I’ll guide you through practical tools that help you understand and retrain the patterns that fuel anxiety. Together, we’ll uncover what triggers your fears, and build emotional skills so you can respond to stress with clarity instead of panic. My clients often describe the process as “life-changing” — because it helps them feel capable, grounded, and free.
I BELIEVE:
Anxiety isn’t a weakness — it’s your mind trying to protect you. We’ll teach it new ways to help instead of harm.
Mixed feelings are normal. You can want change and fear it at the same time.
Relationships are worth the effort. When you communicate with honesty and compassion, fear loses its grip.
You deserve to feel at ease in your own skin — confident, calm, and clear about what matters most.
Healing doesn’t have to be heavy. A little humor and humanity go a long way.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
