Sarah Shipp, LMSW

Sarah Shipp, LMSW

 

Sarah works with people who may feel stuck in overthinking, self-doubt, intrusive thoughts, perfectionism, difficult past experiences, or simply feeling disconnected from the life they want.

Sarah is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in the state of Arizona. She is trained in EMDR, CBT, DBT, and ACT, with continued education in ADHD and adolescent development. Sarah believes every person has the capacity for growth when they feel safe enough to explore their story. Her approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals.

Sarah works with adolescents ages 13 and older and adults experiencing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma, and eating disorders. Her clinical focus includes trauma treatment through EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), and motivational interviewing. Various approaches can help in different ways. EMDR helps process difficult experiences while CBT and DBT focus on thoughts, emotions and coping. ERP helps you to face your fears. ACT helps make room for hard feelings while moving toward what matters.

Sarah believes meaningful change happens through authentic relationships, self-exploration, and aligning life with one’s personal values. Inspired by the healing found in both nature and human connection, she encourages clients to cultivate self-forgiveness, embrace personal growth, and build practical skills that support long-term well-being.
