Meet Your Therapist

Sara Kate Gillingham

MFT-LP

After a twenty-year writing career, I felt called to become a psychotherapist to help people integrate their lives with their truth, something too often splintered by societal pressures.

I believe deeply in your capacity for healing and growth; we will work collaboratively to experience a fuller range of creative expression: from joy and silliness to rage and sorrow.

Transitions like coupling and decoupling, sexuality awakening, fertility and parenthood, empty-nesting, and menopause force us into personal evolution. My unique biopsychosocial and spiritual lens lets us examine modern challenges within yourself and your relationships.

Along with formal training as a couples and family therapist, I am inspired by Narrative, Experiential and IFS approaches. I utilize principles from Open Dialogue as a way into deep listening. My own decades-long meditation and breathwork practices help ground our work of re-integration of body, mind and spirit.

For those interested, I am trained as a psychedelic facilitator (SoundMind Institute) and can help prepare for and integrate psychedelic experiences. Together we can call on practices of meaning-making and rituals of grief and celebration for life’s dynamics.

I welcome clients with curiosity and a trauma-informed, anti-oppression lens. It is my privilege to hold, with both playfulness and contemplation, a safe and supportive space for you to reclaim your rightful place as protagonist of your own story.
