Hi, I’m Sara Vetiver (she/they), an LPC Associate passionate about supporting clients in reconnecting with embodiment, emotional resilience, presence in relationship, and empowerment.

With mindful presence, I support parents, couples, and individuals as they soften old patterns, repair trust in connection, and find their way back to themselves.

I support adults and couples across the lifespan navigating complex trauma, attachment wounding, identity explorations in gender, race, disability, and neurodivergence, the process and ritual of grieving, the cultivation of spiritual life, reconnection with nature, and actualizing change. I’ll meet you in the therapy space with curiosity, a desire to connect, and a dedication to being with what feels alive.

Modalities that inform my work include Internal Family Systems, Depth Psychology, Mindfulness, Somatics, Ecotherapy, Gestalt, Polyvagal and Attachment Theory. 

I graduated from California Institute of Integral Studies, where I focused on transpersonal, somatic and integrative psychology. I receive supervision that is relational and somatic under Bridges Therapy Group, and Sawyer Salameh and Roza Skenderova, with whom I completed my clinical internship at Portland Therapy Project. I am currently attending trainings in Gestalt, Ecotherapy, and to support clients struggling with perfectionism and OCD.

Outside of therapy, I love to hike, swim, pick berries with my partner, read in my hammock, and gather with friends.
