Hi there, I'm EdwardLei, a licensed clinical social worker with over twenty years of experience.

Hello! My name is Sarah Wells. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have more than 7 years of professional experience in the field of social work and over 10 years of working with children and families (Former Preschool Teacher). I have experience working with anxiety/depression, life adjustment/transitions, family and relational challenges, and complex trauma and abuse. I primarily employ evidence-based techniques, including CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.

Fostering a climate of emotional safety and trust is paramount. When a person feels safe being vulnerable, they can begin the work of healing and change.

Thank you for your interest in my practice. I have over 20 years of clinical experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families. I work to tailor my approach to each individual's specific needs & concerns so that together we can create a path towards healing, empowerment and change. I believe that each person and age-group has different needs within a therapy setting. I utilize play, art, sand, and interactive talk therapy to create a safe, compassionate and dynamic approach to support change.

I specialize in working with people suffering from the effects of acute and long term emotional trauma, physical trauma, medical trauma and Adult Children of Alcoholic Families and dysfunctional families. I am an EMDR Therapy specialist and have specialized training in working with public safety personnel and people suffering from anxiety disorders.

There are many reasons for seeking therapy, but most often the goal is to feel better, live more fully, or improve coping skills. I believe that effective therapy is tailored to the presenting issue, specific treatment goals, individual temperament as well as an ongoing assessment of effectiveness. My style is one of openness, acceptance, curiosity, respect, optimism, and encouragement.

Finding the right counselor is like dating--you have to have chemistry, and someone you just "click" with. Building a solid, trusting, professional relationship is key, and I take great pleasure and pride in forming these connections with my clients. Whether you are dealing with a major traumatic event, or just need extra support, we can figure it out together. I like to say, "I will help give you the map, but I won't drive the car". I love empowering clients to make their own change; there is no better feeling on either side.
