About Sarah Bentley

Sarah Bentley works with adults to uncover the root experiences that contribute to current struggles and to address the negative beliefs and difficult emotions that follow. She helps individuals explore how past wounds influence present behaviors and thought patterns, then collaborates with them to develop healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and relating so they can engage in life more authentically.

Sarah is an Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) certified provider. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories and reducing the intensity of the emotions tied to them, and she integrates this training into her work with people affected by past hurts. She also holds the credentials LPCC and LMHP - LPCC stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and LMHP stands for Licensed Mental Health Practitioner.

When someone finds themselves repeating unhelpful behaviors or feeling stuck in persistent emotional states, Sarah partners with them to re-parent the inner child and to strengthen adaptive coping and emotional regulation. Her approach seeks to repair negative beliefs, relieve ongoing emotional discomfort, and create practical, sustainable changes in day-to-day living.
