About Sara Tysman, MA, LPC

You don’t have to carry this all on your own.

My counseling helps women and couples like you.
You’re in the right place!

please Hear me when I say:

Being here doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you’re strong.

Sometimes it isn’t easy to ask for help with a personal problem or a relationship issue, especially from someone you don’t know very well. As your counselor, I will prioritize providing a warm, safe, welcoming, respectful, authentic, and nonjudgmental space to build a trusting therapeutic relationship.

How I work

At the core of my approach to therapy is a belief that emotional connection is the pathway to healing.

My practice is dedicated to providing support to women and couples as they navigate through various challenges such as marital conflict, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, stress, PTSD/trauma, and the pursuit of a more meaningful life. I firmly believe in utilizing a client-centered approach, which allows me to tailor my therapeutic methods to your individual needs, ensuring that our sessions are filled with empathy, free from any form of judgment, and create a secure and safe space for you to express and explore your personal journey. For individuals who are open to it, I also incorporate Christian counseling as part of my approach, acknowledging the significance of faith in the process of healing and personal growth.

  • I believe a major part of my role in the counseling process involves providing support and encouragement as we walk together into all the parts of your story, including the painful parts, so you can find healing and restoration. Learn more.
