Sara Crow (she/her), MEd, LCMHC, NCC

Enrichment Program Manager;
Outpatient Psychotherapist in North Raleigh

Works with ages 18+

My name is Sara Crow (Pronouns: She/Her) and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC #11736) & a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC #628036). In addition to being an Outpatient Psychotherapist in North Raleigh, I am the Manager of our Enrichment Program.

I grew up naturally offering others a listening ear, empathy, and support. After earning two undergraduate degrees from UNC Greensboro and working in hospitality & international education, I went back to school for my Masters of Clinical Mental Health Counseling at NC State University. I spent the first few years of my counseling career working in a university counseling center with students & in community based mental health with children, teens, and parents. After the birth of my son, my eyes were opened to the unique needs and challenges of the prenatal, pregnancy, and postpartum periods for moms and families. There were so many things I did not feel prepared for and wished I had known where to find support. It was then I decided to focus my counseling work around pregnant & postpartum persons, their families, and the life transition into and throughout parenthood.

I believe the most important aspect of counseling is the relationship 'fit.' Advanced training is important, and also you must feel heard, respected, and empowered for it to promote change. I am a trauma therapist and work with both bottom-up and top-down approaches to nervous system healing. I draw from Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR (SAFE EMDR), SAFE EMDR for Chronic Pain, Brainspotting, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing to work with severe stress, anxiety, mood changes, parenting, identity, chronic pain, sexuality, relationship struggles, body image, self-esteem, self-awareness, and life balance. I work closely with & am an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community. I am fluent in English and Spanish, and offer a culturally sensitive and humble approach to therapy. I am a lifelong learner.

After leaving my roots in Alaska and living throughout North Carolina & Mexico, I now call Raleigh home.
