Sarah S Glidden, Licensed Professional Counselor, MA

I came to this profession with the desire to help; and with the belief that everyone deserves to be heard and understood. I have found that my personal approach is rooted in compassion, gentleness, and deep listening. Those that come to my practice are often looking a safe space to open up. I provide a relationship that is open, authentic, and non-judgmental. I understand that it takes tremendous courage to reach out for help, and I would like to celebrate that you have taken the first step in that process. My practice is rooted in humanism, process, and collaboration. Together we will explore the challenges you are dealing with, and the solutions that are most appropriate for you. I do not believe that therapy is on-size-fits all, and I understand that you are the expert of your own story. As a team, we can identify the correct interventions for you, over time.

Form 2019-2021 I trained in behavioral therapies at Portland Anxiety Clinic, after which time I endeavored into private practice. My practice centers around treating related and often co-occurring conditions including anxiety, relationship issues, ADHD, perfectionism, social anxiety, life transitions, and developing a healthier relationship to one's self. Developing a healthy relationship to self often involves learning self-compassion, resolving trauma's, improving self-esteem, and learning to set healthy boundaries. If you have any questions about my background or approach, please do not hesitate to ask!
