SARAH FARRELL
PSYCHOTHERAPY
Sarah works with adults who are looking for a deeper understanding of themselves and a more grounded way of moving through their lives, offering therapy both online and in-person here at The Wellness Collective. Many of the people who find their way to Sarah are thoughtful and self-aware, yet still feel caught in patterns that are difficult to shift or uncertain about how to move forward in a way that feels right.
Sarah’s approach is relational and person-centered. Rather than working from a fixed structure, Sarah meets each person where they are, allowing the work to unfold from what is present in the moment as well as from the longer arcs of their experience. Sessions often involve slowing things down and paying close attention to what is happening internally—thoughts, emotions, bodily felt sense, and the subtle ways in which meaning begins to take shape over time.
Sarah has a particular interest in experiential approaches, including focusing and dreamwork. Focusing is a way of turning attention toward the body’s felt sense—an often subtle, not-yet fully formed experience that can carry important information about how we are living and what may be asking for attention. Rather than analyzing or interpreting too quickly, Sarah helps clients stay with these experiences in a way that allows something new to emerge.
Dreamwork may also be part of the process for those who are interested. Sarah approaches dreams not as something to decode, but as another form of experience that can be explored together. In this way, dreams can open up new perspectives, images, and understandings that are not always accessible through thinking alone.
Sarah’s style tends to be non-directive, while also engaged and responsive. At times Sarah may offer reflections or ask more direct questions, but much of the work comes from creating a space where clients can begin to notice more clearly what is happening within them and how they relate to it.
Over time, this process can support a greater sense of clarity, less second-guessing, and a more steady connection to one’s own direction.
Sarah received her master’s degree in clinical psychology from Saint Michael’s College in 2018. From 2018 to 2022, Sarah worked in private practice under clinical supervision and completed the 4,000 hours required for licensure, and was licensed as a psychologist-master in the state of Vermont in 2023.
Sarah’s experience includes work in private practice, community mental health, and higher education.
