Sara Combos MA, RN, LPC-MHSP, Licensed Professional  Counselor |Phone:615-721-2548 | Email: sara.fcwc@gmail.com

I operate from the perspective that therapy is not about judging and changing ourselves. Rather, therapy is simply creating space for the seemingly dark, fearful, and shameful parts within us. These parts want to be seen and accepted, just as we all do.

In sessions, I encourage clients to allow their bodies and inner wisdom to drive the progression of the therapeutic process. I believe that healing occurs as we gently move towards non-resistance and self-acceptance. This process catalyzes the body’s innate ability to transform emotions, the conscious, and the subconscious mind.

My areas of focus include complex PTSD, childhood trauma, disordered eating, codependency, emotional abuse/neglect, women’s issues, religious/spiritual trauma, sexual issues, relationship difficulties, burnout, anxiety, and depression. With my background in nursing and kinesiology, I also enjoy working with the psychological aspects of chronic pain, injury recovery, and athletic performance.
