Individual Therapy
Our Individual Therapy Approach
If you’ve been feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, or a sense of disconnection, you don’t have to face it alone. At Plans For Healing, we specialize in creating the space and support you need to process your emotions and begin your journey toward healing.
Creating the Space You Need for Healing
In our individual therapy sessions, we provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can slow down, reflect, and focus on yourself. This space is designed to help you clear your mind and reconnect with your body—giving you a much-needed break from the demands of daily life. It’s a place where you can stop feeling overwhelmed and start gaining clarity on what’s been holding you back.
Effective Tools to Help You Heal
We understand that healing is not one-size-fits-all, which is why we use a variety of techniques to support your progress:
- Breathing exercises to manage anxiety and bring calm to your body and mind.
- Meditation practices to help you center yourself and find peace within.
- Cognitive reframing to challenge negative thought patterns and foster a healthier mindset.
- Venting sessions where you can express your emotions freely and release pent-up feelings without judgment.
Feedback for Real Change
At the core of our therapy is an open exchange of feedback. Rather than staying trapped in your own head, we provide external perspectives that can shift your outlook and guide you toward progress. This feedback is essential in helping you see new possibilities and move forward with confidence.
With Plans For Healing, we focus on your unique needs, offering personalized support to help you break free from the cycle of pain and find long-term relief. Whether it’s managing your anxiety, improving your emotional wellbeing, or healing from past trauma, our individual therapy sessions are designed to empower you every step of the way.
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.
