About Sara Anderson

You Don’t Need to Be Fixed. You Need to Be Met.

For many women, chronic illness, injury, or medical trauma changes more than health—it changes identity, safety, relationships, and the way you move through the world.

What others can’t see, you live with every day: the hidden calculations, the small but heartbreaking losses, the exhaustion of advocating for yourself while carrying grief that few around you understand.

That’s why my work isn’t about rushing you to “get over it.”

It’s about creating a space where you don’t have to explain, justify, or perform. A place where you can lay down the invisible weight you’re carrying—and slowly begin to feel like yourself again.

Meet Sara

Over the course of my career, I’ve supported thousands of women navigating anxiety, trauma, and life-altering change. But this isn’t just professional for me. I know what it’s like to live in a body that doesn’t always feel trustworthy, to face the disorientation of medical systems that dismiss your pain, and to fight for a sense of self when everything familiar has been upended.

That lived experience has shaped the way I practice: with deep compassion, honesty, and an unwavering respect for your resilience.

How I Work

My approach is integrative and tailored—drawing from somatic trauma therapies, neuroscience, and depth psychology to meet you where you are.

Some of the modalities I may weave into our work include:

  • Havening Techniques® – Gentle, neuroscience-based touch that calms the nervous system and reduces distress.

  • Applied Somatic Jungian Therapy – Body-based and imaginal work that helps you explore meaning, process trauma, and reconnect with yourself.

  • EMDR – A structured approach that helps reprocess overwhelming experiences so they no longer hold the same emotional charge.

  • Expressive Therapy – Creative tools like writing, drawing, or movement to access feelings that words alone can’t reach.

  • Relational, Mindful, and Self-Compassionate Therapy – A supportive connection that fosters kindness, presence, and healing in relationship with yourself.

This isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about supporting your nervous system, honoring your grief, and helping you reclaim your own truth, in your own time.

Why This Matters

Because the truth is: healing isn’t just about symptoms. It’s about identity. Belonging. Self-trust. It’s about finding a way to live fully in the body you have now—without minimizing your pain or dismissing your experience.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel seen, believed, and deeply supported. Where no one tells you to “just accept it,” but instead helps you integrate what’s happened and rediscover the parts of you that illness or trauma may have tried to take away.

Beyond The Diagnosis

I live and work in Georgia, where I offer secure online therapy for women across the state. Outside of my work, I’m passionate about writing, teaching, and creating tools that help people access compassion and resilience in everyday life.

At its heart, my work is about helping women come home to themselves—beyond illness, beyond injury, beyond the diagnosis.
