Sarah Farris
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, LPC
*Currently holding a waitlist for new clients.* I am trained in evidence-based practices for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety, panic and phobias, trichotillomania and skin picking (BFRBs), and athlete mental health. I offer a client-focused, non-judgmental environment where you can address feelings of uncertainty, learn and implement new skills, and make meaningful changes in your life. Together, we will examine the challenges you are facing, set clear goals, and develop a plan to minimize the impact of stress and anxiety on your daily functioning. My approach is goal-oriented, supportive, and collaborative. Building trust is fundamental to the therapeutic relationship, and I strive to meet individuals where they are at the start of therapy.

Emem Itiat
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
I believe in the power of healing through promoting self-awareness, autonomy and empowerment, and also in people's strength to move towards change. Though suffering is a part of life, something that all humans share, working to manifest helpful and sustainable coping mechanisms, and skills that will work to serve you long term makes a difference in the quality of life a person experiences. I work from a Health at Every Size (HAES) and humanist framework, observing individuals as a whole, and when it comes to the war against body discrimination and terrorism, I believe in working to enhance radical acceptance through promoting self-contentment, end weight discrimination by identifying the underlying and overlying systems of oppression, dismantling those systems, and working against the cultural obsession with diet culture, and the pursuit of thinness and perfection. I believe in concepts such as radical self-love, self-trust, self-awareness, radical-acceptance, freedom, agency, self-compassion, and self-actualization to help guide individuals to fulfill their potential and maximize their wellbeing.
