National Certified Counselor N.C.C.
My name is Sara DeBonis and I am a dedicated and compassionate therapist with a deep
commitment to helping individuals overcome challenges and lead more fulfilling, balanced lives.
My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, respect, and a belief in each person’s unique
potential for growth and healing. I am currently working toward earning my Licensed
Professional Counselor (LPC) certification and am privileged to provide therapeutic support
under supervision.
My experience spans working with a wide variety of clients, including children, adolescents, and
adults, each facing different life challenges. I’ve had the opportunity to work in a variety of
clinical settings, including schools, Intensive Behavioral Health Services (IBHS), and
community-based programs. These experiences have shaped my ability to connect with people
and allow me to provide tailored care that addresses individual needs with sensitivity and
Respect.
In my work as a therapist, I take an integrative approach, blending evidence-based practices
such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and humanistic psychology. I believe in the power
of building a strong therapeutic relationship, where clients feel safe, heard, and empowered to
make meaningful changes in their lives. My goal is to support you in navigating life's challenges
with resilience and confidence and guide you in discovering your inner strength with lasting
strategies for a healthier, more centered life.
