My approach integrates culturally informed practices with evidence-based modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and family systems theory.
Hello! I am Sarina Herman, a dedicated clinician specializing in working with teens & young adults going through life transitions who want to break the chains of self doubt and overthinking, that also may be rooted in cultural experiences and upbringings. As a therapist, I recognize the importance of cultural sensitivity and the impact it has on mental health. Whether you’re struggling with acculturation issues, intergenerational conflicts, or the pressures of cultural expectations, I am here to offer guidance and support. I am deeply committed to promoting mental health awareness and reducing the stigma surrounding mental illness.

Life can be overwhelming. We all need some dedicated time to nurture and heal. Why should someone hire a therapist rather than just talk through their problems with a friend or family member? First of all, if you have someone in your life to whom you feel comfortable opening up, that is awesome. Keep doing that. We all need these vital human connections. But a therapist brings something a little different to the table than a best friend.

I assist people who are experiencing personal and relationship problems, those who are chronic worriers, withdraw and avoid too much or are excessively sad and depressed. I also counsel those whose lives are shattered by severe trauma, loss, marital conflict, divorce, aging, and delusional thinking/psychosis. I apply theory, methods, and approaches that work best with the unique needs and personality of the person, couple, or family I'm counseling.

I use a wide range of evidence-based approaches like EMDR, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Solution-Focused (SF).
My background includes working with clients on a broad spectrum of therapeutic goals — including anxiety, depression, LGBTQ issues, anger management and more. My counseling philosophy is based on the understanding that no matter what we have experienced, there is an aspect of us all that is whole and complete just as it is. By continually orienting to this ground of wholeness, I believe we can fundamentally alter our relationship to our problems — shifting them from something that defines us to something that simply needs to be met, understood, and resolved.

I have enjoyed the time and opportunity to work remotely and start a new chapter in my life with my family figuring out the homesteading chaos.
For more than a decade I have been counseling clients with a variety of mental, emotional, relational, and spiritual health struggles from a wide spectrum of personalities and life experiences. Each counseling experience brings challenges and victories. I consider it an honor and privilege to come alongside individuals or couples in need- to help in the healing process through processing trauma, identifying and replacing harmful and self-sabotaging patterns of behavior with restorative ones, providing mediation and advocacy, and offering compassion and accountability.

I’ve worked with clients dealing with mood and anxiety disorders, emotional distress, trauma, chronic stress, eating disorders and body image concerns, relationship struggles, family conflict, low self-esteem, and life transitions.
You have decided that you are in a place in your life where therapy could be helpful. While it may be daunting, talking with a therapist is an act of courage and an investment in your well-being. I am so proud of you for taking this first step and believe that everyone can benefit from therapy. My hope in working together is to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where we can draw upon your strengths and explore behaviors, beliefs, and relationship patterns that no longer serve you.

Optimism is the foundation of courage.” As a therapist, I strive to help clients find hope. The world may not always present us with rainbows and sunshine, and we must process and name the storms we endure. I knew I wanted to be a therapist when my family and I were enduring multiple storms and found value in having someone outside of my family to talk to about it all. I wanted to help others feel less alone, and to know that their thoughts/feelings/behaviors tied to the storm are likely pretty normal. It’s normal to feel stuck sometimes, and my hope is that our work in counseling lends to you feeling unstuck.
