Sarah Douglas

Hello, I am Sarah. All throughout my life, I have desired to help others, and through the counseling field, I have the ability to guide others to their ideal selves. I admire the strength and courage it takes to admit that someone may need more assistance with their struggles. As a counselor, it is not only my job, but my pleasure to be able to assist in helping others find their own path for wherever their lives take them. Each and every person is the narrator of their own stories, and I am gracious to have the opportunity to be a part of that journey.

As for myself, I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Stephen F. Austin State University and am currently nearing the completion of my Masters in Professional Counseling. Much of my time spent at SFA was spent volunteering for SFA's Student Wellness Action Team (SWAT), focused on activism and raising awareness of negative behaviors on college campuses. Much of my time during my tenure as a professional counseling student has been geared towards passions for understanding anxiety, depression, primary caretaking, ADHD, and LGBTQ+ issues. Many years of being a primary caretaker have given me experiences with grief, loss, and depression along with techniques to cope, understand, and validate feelings associated with being a caretaker.

My counseling takes an integrative approach from many different forms of counseling. Every individual is different and requires different skill sets depending on the challenges they are facing. Currently, I am most comfortable in a Person-Centered counseling setting with integrating techniques from Gestalt and Narrative based therapies. Most of all, I come into therapy bringing a sense of professionalism while also remaining approachable and flexible. Everyone has the potential to overcome the issues and barriers in their way, and it is my job to help you overcome your limits and see your path forward.
