Meet Your New Counselor
Sarah Velasquez, LPC Associate
Supervised by Elizabeth Landry, LPC Supervisor
You deserve to be your genuine self. It's a challenge to be unapologetically you, whether your an outsider or just trying to explore new parts and interests. I’m here to help you create the space you need to heal and rediscover yourself. I’m passionate about helping people set boundaries in their work, families, and relationships, creating lives that feel authentic and fulfilling. I prioritize creating a safe, affirming space for our LGBTQIA community. I prioritize a multicultural approach and see the value of seeing every part of what makes you, you.
​
I take a trauma-informed approach and a multicultural perspective to our work together. I am Interna Family Systems (IFS) Informed and have training in Eye Movement, Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). My professional goal is to become excellent in the tools I use. But the healing is in the trust and relationship we build together.
​
I'm proud of each and every person who is ready to make positive changes in their life. Change is challenging and seeing progress is so rewarding. I’d love to discuss if I am a fit to help you on your path to healing. Give me a call and let's talk about your goals.

I believe that building trust is the foundation of effective therapy, and I’m committed to creating a space where you feel safe exploring your past.
