My name is Sarah Gogarty and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist as well as an associate clinical counselor. For as long as I can remember I knew I wanted to be in a helping profession. I learned that I could use my empathy, compassion, and understanding to support others through all of life's trials and tribulations. I want to be for individuals what my therapist has been for me, a true supporter and confidant.
I have worked in many different environments from domestic violence advocacy to life-limiting illness care and in my final year of graduate school as a school-based counselor. I spent my Marriage and Family associateship in private practice, seeing individuals and couples with a wide range of needs. My in-depth experience has taught me to adapt and always tailor my treatment to the specific client using a strength-based approach in a culturally sensitive way.
I have training and experience in:
Cognitive Behavioral therapy
Client Focused therapy
Strength-based therapy
Attachment-based therapy
Motivational Interviewing
Mindfulness-Based Interventions
Gottman Method (couples)
Domestic Violence Advocacy
Professional Bio:

On a personal note...
I still feel new to San Diego so one of my favorite thing to do in my free time is explore! I like to get my Shepherd in the car and head to the beach or park. We love to camp and hike together too.
When I need time to recharge, I love to exercise, read or decompress with watching anything that makes me laugh! Oh, and Legos or video games :)
Balance is key!
