H!, I’m Sarah Haugh, LMHC (#8487), a board-certified and licensed mental health therapist specializing in anxiety and trauma treatment for women and teen girls. I have sixteen years of experience in this great profession and I love it more and more each day!
I am also a self-proclaimed “empath”, HSP, married with two children and a blind rescue mixed-breed pup and love the beach, hikes, good food and restaurants with good/cozy vibes (the lighting matters)!
You likely found me or were sent to me because you feel constantly on edge, overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts, stuck in patterns of worry or avoidance, or feel disconnected from yourself and the people you love. Perhaps painful experiences from childhood or adulthood continue to affect your confidence, relationships, or sense of safety. Even when you understand what is happening, it can be difficult to know how to actually change it.
I have been practicing therapy full-time since earning my Master of Science in Clinical Counseling Psychology in 2011 (and before that through internships). I have advanced, specialized training in evidence-based treatments for trauma and anxiety disorders, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT and Trauma-Focused CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) . I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional through Evergreen.
Our work will be tailored to your nervous system, your lived experiences, and the kind of change you want to create. I believe you are the expert on yourself, and my role is to help tap into that wisdom, learn what is driving your distress, build on your strengths, and develop tools to be the driver on your bus so that you are no longer triggered by “blind spots” your only subconsciously saw coming.
In addition, I have specialized training in the integration of nutrition and mental health, (which I find exceptionally meaningful) particularly as it relates to anxiety and I earned certification as a Certified Mental Health and Nutrition Clinical Specialist. When appropriate, we can explore how nutrition and other lifestyle factors may support your emotional well-being as part of a comprehensive and holistic body-based approach to care.
My therapy will consider how systems, family, educational, cultural, or societal experiences have shaped the way you see yourself and relate to the world. By integrating evidence-based therapy with holistic, body-based, and mindfulness-informed approaches, I help clients move beyond the automatic learned survival patterns and move toward greater peace, confidence, connection, and emotional safety and regulation.
It is an honor to be considered as part of your healing journey. I would love to connect and help you determine whether we are a good fit. Feel free to reach out any time!
Hi, I’m Alex Ryan, LICSW. I am a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience and I specialize in helping children, teens, and adults overcome anxiety, trauma, OCD, panic attacks, and the overwhelming stress that can leave you feeling stuck in survival mode.
If you’ve been feeling emotionally exhausted, constantly on edge, overwhelmed by relationships or physical manifestations of anxiety, parenting demands, or the lasting impact of difficult experiences, you’re not alone.
My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where we can better understand what’s contributing to your struggles to get to the root cause of them, while building practical tools to help you feel calmer, more confident, and more like yourself again.
I have seen that healing happens through a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel genuinely heard, supported, and empowered. I draw from evidence-based approaches and advanced trauma therapy modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor treatment to your specific needs. Together, we’ll explore patterns that may no longer be serving you, build effective coping skills, and help you reconnect with your strengths and resilience to reduce your distress (physical and emotional).
While our past shapes us, it doesn’t have to define our future. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, recovering from childhood or adult trauma, struggling with perfectionism or people-pleasing, adjusting to a major life transition, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, I would be honored to support you on your healing journey. I am hopeful that you’ll leave each session feeling understood, empowered, and confident in your ability to move forward with greater peace and self-compassion.
Outside of my practice, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family and child. We love to swim, try out new parks on the north shore and cook together!
Hi, I’m Jennifer Padre, LICSW (License #120318). I am an independently licensed clinical social worker/therapist with more than 30 years of experience supporting teens, adults, and couples through life’s challenges and transitions.
Reaching out for support can feel difficult, especially when you’ve been carrying anxiety, stress, trauma, or emotional pain on your own for a long time, and I strive to create a space where you feel genuinely heard and understood so that you can start to feel better. I understand how exhausting it can feel to constantly overthink, feel emotionally overwhelmed, struggle in relationships, or feel stuck in survival mode while trying to manage the demands of everyday life.
My areas of expertise include helping teens, adults and couples, who are feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, disconnected, or worn down by trauma, stress, and long-standing patterns that no longer serve them. Many of the clients I work with come in feeling exhausted from trying to hold everything together, unsure why their reactions feel so intense, or frustrated that general therapy alone hasn’t fully helped in the past.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of individuals across outpatient therapy, crisis intervention, trauma-focused care, including first responders coping with trauma and PTSD. I am trained in evidence-based treatment approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
I tailor treatment to each client’s unique strengths, needs, and goals, recognizing that no two people experience healing the same way. My goal is to help clients feel more confident, balanced, connected, empowered and with internal peace. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I believe you are the expert on your own experiences.
Together, we can work toward helping you feel more grounded, supported, and hopeful about the future. I believe healing happens when we look at the whole person, not just the symptoms. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, emotional dysregulation, or major life transitions, I work alongside you at a pace that feels safe and comfortable while helping you build practical tools for meaningful and lasting change.
You can become the driver in your life again!
Outside of my practice, I enjoy spending time with family, children and friends, being outdoors, traveling, and exploring new places.
