Sarah Merritt

MA, LPC, CEDS, EMDR Certified, Trained in Parts Work

I specialize in eating disorders and trauma from codependency, people-pleasing, and perfectionism. I also works with individuals struggling with anxiety, emotional abuse, PTSD, and relationship issues. I am certified in EMDR and am an expert in utilizing this therapy strategy to target the healing of eating disorders. I am also a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist which includes having thousands of hours of experience working with eating disorders.

It is common for my clients to work on boundaries, negative beliefs about themselves, communication skills, and past traumas. I utilize therapy approaches that involve gaining insight and awareness, becoming curious about emotions, gaining control over thought patterns, and helping align behaviors with client values. I often utilize a combination of EMDR and parts work. EMDR helps desensitize and reprocess past traumas. Parts work helps the client access younger parts of themselves that have unmet needs.

I consistently see my own therapist, seek consultation, and frequently attend new trainings. I believe we are all a work in progress and it is my job as your therapist to be diligent in my work on myself. I am passionate about my clients and am honored to be part of their healing journeys.
