Sara Pavel
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you’re used to handling things on your own. My goal is to create a space where you can be honest about what’s going on without feeling like you have to have everything figured out first. I believe therapy should be practical, collaborative, and connected to your real life—not just a place to talk about problems.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your own thoughts, struggling with confidence, or navigating a major transition, we’ll work together to understand what’s getting in the way and find ways forward. I’ll meet you where you are while also challenging you when it can help you grow. You don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable to reach out. If something in your life isn’t working the way you want it to, therapy can be a place to start making a change.

Full Circle Mental Health LLC
Registered Social Worker, MSW, LISW
I believe that healing happens through authentic connection, unconditional dignity, and deep equity. Therapy should always fit the person, not the other way around. As a therapist and the founder of Full Circle Mental Health LLC, my mission is to provide a soft place to land for individuals, couples, and blended families who are navigating life’s heaviest seasons. I view mental wellness through a systemic lens, understanding that who we are is deeply shaped by our environments, our relationships, and the burdens we inherit.
My commitment to human rights and systemic healing extends far beyond the virtual therapy room. My clinical perspective is profoundly shaped by my volunteer work within the community, where I dedicate time to supporting foster youth navigating complex systemic cycles, walking alongside survivors of sex trafficking as they reclaim their autonomy, and advocating for immediate dignity and resources for the unhoused population. Facing these systemic vulnerabilities head-on has reinforced my belief that every human being deserves a safe, fiercely non-judgmental space to process their wounds and rediscover their innate power.
In my practice, I blend this deep empathy and cultural humility with advanced clinical expertise. Holding a Master of Social Work (MSW) and a license as an Independent Social Worker (LISW), I am extensively trained in comprehensive clinical assessment, diagnosis, and evidence-based treatment. I practice from an eclectic, integrative framework, drawing dynamically from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Bowenian Family Systems. Whether you are an individual untangling daily anxiety or religious deconstruction, a couple healing attachment injuries, or a blended family managing the unique friction of merging households, we will work as collaborative partners. Together, we will honor your resilience, build practical tools, and co-create a personalized roadmap toward lasting relational peace and authentic change.
