Sara Turner Psychotherapy
Seattle • Orcas Island • Telehealth
Welcome! I am so glad you are here.
I am a holistically oriented and trauma-informed therapist who passionately believes in our ability and right to seek healing and wholeness. A commonality of our human existence is that we will inevitably experience disasters and tragedies that require us to sever or shut down aspects of ourselves to ensure survival, and I believe that therapy is a valuable tool for reconnecting and reclaiming these essential parts in order to live with more integration, intention and peace.
Therapy deepens our self awareness and acceptance by asking us to remain curious about the wisdom within our emotions and feelings, slowly viewing them as helpful information, and moving us towards balanced responses over harmful reactions. It provides a safe and non judgemental space for to us to understand and learn how to support and care for our unique mental health needs, which allows us to engage in relationships with ourselves and others with greater confidence, empathy, and connection.
It is essential that my practice is social justice oriented and dedicated to an anti-oppressive and intersectional framework, acknowledging the profoundly traumatic impact of oppression and violence on our individual and community mental health. I practice and am committed to cultural humility and agency- I believe that you are the expert of your life- and my goal is to support you in living the life you desire.
Therapy is deeply relational and collaborative, and I consider the privilege of walking alongside you one of the highest honors in my life. Together we’ll get curious about you- compassionately exploring and honoring your lived experience while establishing unique goals tailor-made to support you in your journey toward your personal definition of health and healing.
My hope is to establish an inclusive and non-judgmental space for your healing and transformation that is full of warmth, validation and safety.

We’re all just walking each other home.
