Sarah Slater, LMHCA

Therapist

Sarah is EMDR trained and working toward certification. She obtained her Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Ohio University and holds a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Human Services from Ohio University. Sarah’s clinical background includes working in community mental health in multiple settings, helping individuals and families who are navigating generational trauma, systemic poverty, and devastating impacts of the opioid epidemic in Appalachia.   

Sarah’s approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and explicitly anti-oppressive, integrating feminist and social justice lenses. She blends EMDR with somatic work to tune into the body’s wisdom, parts work to explore internal dynamics in a non-judgmental way, and mindfulness and creative expression to access deeper layers of healing. Sarah’s path to becoming a therapist was non-linear and rooted in her own lived experiences of cycle breaking. Sarah is passionate about helping people break free from negative beliefs that hold them back from being their true authentic selves. 

Outside of work, Sarah nourishes her spirit by singing and making music, cooking, watching pet reunion videos, and grounding herself in nature. Some of her identities include elder-millennial/gen x blend, ex-chef, Appalachian, sober, cisgender woman, white, non-indigenous, U.S. born.
