Sara Kirkpatrick

Are you overwhelmed by life’s challenges, struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or the complexities of being autistic or having ADHD? Maybe you're dealing with high stress, navigating parenting or pregnancy, and seeking balance. You seek a nonjudgmental, holistic approach that balances evidence-based treatments with lived experience. Your goal is to build self-awareness, emotional regulation skills, compassion, manage stress, and live authentically. You want to go beyond just modifying behaviors and understand the thoughts, beliefs, and emotions driving them for more meaningful change. You want to feel supported and heard. As a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming therapist, I offer person-centered therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, high stress, neurodiversity, parenting, and life challenges. Using cognitive approaches (CBT, DBT), mindfulness, compassion, and body-based interventions, we work on coping, emotional regulation, and self-awareness for meaningful change. I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve had negative experiences before. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to explore your thoughts and feelings. If you’re dealing with trauma, stress, or anxiety, I’m here to support you in developing skills and insights for a more fulfilling, compassionate life. Specialties: For those overwhelmed with stress, parenting, life, trauma, or because of their neurodivergence in a neurotypical world, I offer a compassionate, person-centered approach that combines evidence-based treatments with a deep understanding of your unique experiences. My goal is to help you feel supported and heard. Credentials & Experience: I have 17 years of experience with individuals and families in healthcare. I have therapeutic experience in crisis work, therapy, and with birthing and postpartum families. I have a graduate degree and an Illinois clinical license to diagnose and treat individuals, couples, and families.
