Sara Markham, LMFT

Sara Markham brings a compassionate, relational approach to therapy, meeting each person where they are and tailoring care to individual histories, goals, and strengths. She emphasizes building a trusting therapeutic connection so clients feel understood and gain confidence to pursue change. Sara draws on empathy and attentive listening to help people clarify priorities, strengthen relationships, and develop more effective ways to communicate their needs.

Sara works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, eating and body image issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, anger, and life transitions. She also supports clients facing addictions, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and workplace or family challenges. With experience engaging teens and adults, she adapts her approach to suit each person’s developmental stage and preferences.

As an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - Sara uses an integrative mix of Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. This blend allows her to combine present-focused strategies with deeper exploration of patterns and attachment, helping clients develop practical skills while also gaining insight into long-standing dynamics. She incorporates research-informed concepts such as mindsight to foster self-awareness and change in how people relate to themselves and others.

Sara aims to create a collaborative, respectful space where clients can explore painful patterns, build self-compassion, and make meaningful shifts. Her focus on empathic attunement and relational work supports clients in strengthening connections with others and cultivating a more integrated sense of self.
