About Sara Lapp Psychology
Personalized Therapy
You are more than what you’re struggling with. In our work together, you will be seen and understood for who you are. We take the time to build trust at a pace that feels right for you—especially if that hasn’t come easily before—while focusing on practical ways to support real change in your life.
I specialize in treating anxiety- generalized anxiety, social anxiety, performance based-anxiety, health anxiety, phobias, school avoidance, separation anxiety and selective mutism.
I specialize in treating trauma-based disorders- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Adjustment Disorder and Acute Stress Disorder.
I practice empirically validated treatment modalities:
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing)
- Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE)
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Solution Focused Therapy (SFT)
Taking the first step can be the hardest. I am happy to offer a free 15 minute phone or video call to introduce myself and answer any questions you have.
What to Expect
Starting Therapy
Starting therapy is a meaningful step. My role is to provide a space that is focused, respectful, and responsive to you.
Our First Session
We will clarify what brings you in, what you want to change, and what matters most to you. You set the direction; I help guide the process.
How Therapy Works
Therapy is active and collaborative. In each session, we make ongoing decisions about what to focus on, what is useful, and what is not. We pay attention to your real-time responses—what fits, what doesn’t, and where you want to go next.
This moment-to-moment process helps you build clarity, confidence, and the ability to choose how you respond in your daily life. Therapy is not just about insight—it is practice for change.
We move at a pace that is steady and manageable, while still supporting growth.
Between Sessions
You apply what we discuss between sessions in ways that feel realistic and relevant.
