In-Office Psychotherapy
In-Office Psychotherapy
In my office, I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and confidential space for you where we can discuss your concerns and goals for therapy.
Office visits are generally 50 minutes long. Insurance usually covers these visits, provided I am in-network with your insurance company or your plan includes out-of-network benefits.
For more information on insurance coverage, please go to FAQ.
All clients are welcome to make an appointment to come into the office anytime.
An in-office visit is most appropriate for those who are experiencing symptoms that are interfering with or disrupting their ability to function in daily life and is an important part of psychotherapy for anxiety and depression and psychotherapy services in general.
Some examples of this might include but are not limited to: diminished ability to think or concentrate, frequent crying, social impairment (isolating, intense feelings of loneliness, inability to connect with or get along with others), recurrent thoughts of harming oneself or others, feeling excessively irritable or angry, feelings of intense anxiety/panic attacks, feeling unable to get out of bed and/or attend work or school, and for those having issues with alcohol or substance abuse or are otherwise in crisis.
If you are unsure whether you need an in-office visit, it is generally best to schedule one.
Sarah Edmunds, LCSW-C
I love what I do because I get to work with people just like you.
I get to see the smile return, the laugh lines form, and the return of a spark to someone’s eye when they realize life can be good again. It’s not always immediate. It takes time, dedication, persistence, and patience. But the reward is worth the effort.
I’ve learned so much in my work over the 25+ years I have been in the mental health field. There is nothing more honorable or awe-inspiring than to be invited in to share someone’s life journey, even when it is filled with hardship and heartbreak.
There are so many different ways to examine our lives and how we live them. I love the exploration and helping people find creative solutions.
I am well practiced in establishing rapport and engaging individuals who are suffering from anxiety, depression, overwhelm, feelings of loss, disconnection, and identity insecurity.
I am a certified clinical trauma professional and a certified life and health coach using a strengths-based and integrative approach that focuses on the mind/body connection to decrease symptoms and enhance wellness. Clinically, I draw from CognitiveBehavioral Therapy, Self-Psychology, and Internal Family Systems.
Whether working online or in person with clients, I provide a comfortable, confidential space to explore feelings and concerns. My style is warm and empathic. When it makes sense, I like to incorporate humor to help put clients at ease.
…I’ve worked in a variety of settings, including hospital emergency medicine, police-based mobile crisis unit, veteran services, treatment foster care, and as a care manager for at-risk seniors.
…I enjoy singing and songwriting, which led to my recording an album of my own original music a few years ago. I believe in music as medicine and encourage all my clients to find or return to creative outlets as an adjunct form of therapy.
