ARTIST, DESIGNER, MOTHER, PSYCHOTHERAPIST

Sarah Fawcett

I am perpetually fascinated by people and look for the “why” behind behavior in every field I have worked in. My psychotherapy practice prioritizes creating a safe space to explore that “why”– what lies beneath the symptoms that clients may initially report. I believe that our symptoms (anxiety, depression, etc.) are the outward manifestations of our inner wounds. Those symptoms are cues to where the “work” can begin.

I work with both adults and adolescents. I am as passionate about helping adults understand how their childhoods affect their current patterns and behaviors as I am about supporting adolescents along their often complex journey to adulthood. With roots in attachment theory, developmental and depth psychology, I utilize parts work and Jungian theory to help clients compassionately look within, understand the “why,” integrate and move forward.

I received my MA in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute in 2023. Prior to graduation, I completed a 20-month practicum at Rivers Way Community Counseling Clinic in Portland, Oregon and am now seeing clients as a registered Professional Counselor Associate. In addition to my psychotherapy practices, I am a mother of three, an artist for fun, and I continue to dabble in my work as a branding strategist and designer.
