I received my master’s degree in the mental health field from Webster University. I have an eclectic approach to therapy, using cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, and a person-centered approach that recognizes and respects the uniqueness of each individual. I have enjoyed working with children and their families over the past few years. I have recently been training in equine assisted therapy and have loved every minute of it. My goal as a therapist is to help people reconnect with life through self-discovery. I appreciate the power of simply being understood by another person.

I have also enjoyed working with children and adolescents in expressing and addressing the emotional challenges that the development years bring.
I am an experienced Marriage and Family Therapist working to provide those individuals, couples, and families with whom I am privileged to work the information, tools, and practical experience needed to live successfully. I believe very strongly that our feelings, when regarded, provide important information to help modify our thinking and behaviors. Whereas the "why" may elude us what we are experiencing is readily available to help us make better choices. I would not have continued in the profession if I had not believed in hope.

I have worked with many children and their families with behavioral issues as well as adults that are still dealing with their inner child conflicts, depression, and anxiety along with many other personal issues.
My philosophy is that our bodies are incredible machines; they can heal from most anything if we take care of them. I have recently become certified in Nutritional Psychology and believe the Gut-Brain Axis explains how if our guts are not healthy it will reflect on our mental health. Together we can decrease/eliminate any mental stressors you are experiencing through healing mind and body as one. I graduated in 2010 from Lincoln University in Missouri with a M.Ed. in Guidance and Counseling. I have worked in private practice the last 8 years as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Registered Play Therapist Supervisor (RPT-S).

My ideal client is one who is aware that they need to do something different but aren't quite sure what the next step is. This could be a life transition from adolescence to adulthood, or a couple who struggles with communication. It could be more intense like a couple who is in the middle of despair or broken trust, or an individual or child who has experienced something traumatic that has changed their whole world. All these individuals are looking for ways to regain their life and become who they believe themselves to be.

Welcome to my page!! My name is Sarah Logan and here we are all individuals and have unique needs. Being a therapist expands how being a caregiver allows me to see you in a way that might have been missing before. My training in therapy has allowed me to see the "both/and" perspective. I am able to understand my clients' point of view from their side of the fence as I become more engaged in their journey. It is truly amazing what lending an empathetic ear and offering support can do for someone!

I look forward to working with clients whose life path may have created difficulties for them that has led them not be the best of who they can be. Each individual's path may have been sprinkled with physical or emotional abuse, neglect, assault, grief and loss, domestic violence, marital or parental discord or a myriad of other situations. Sometimes these life paths create in my clients a feeling of hopeless and loss of self-worth, sometimes these path end with someone needing to determine a plan to leave an unsafe living situation. Sometimes these paths lead to turning to substances and illegal drugs to cope with the internal turmoil and pain. It is my privlege to work with clients to help them identify and bring forth the best of who they are and what they want for their life, their family and their future through their own individual strengths.
