Sarah Edinger

Sarah Edinger is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, relationship problems, parenting worries, and transitions like adoption and foster care concerns. She also supports people facing mood disorders, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and work or career strain. Sarah writes plainly and keeps sessions down to earth so people can talk without medical jargon.

Sarah trained at The University of Tennessee College of Social Work and brings 21 years of experience across schools, community mental health, and private practice. She prefers an open, collaborative relationship where people set the pace. She does not rely on labels and will not make a diagnosis the focus unless it is needed for practical reasons like insurance.

Her style mixes several approaches to match each person's needs. She commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, client-centered listening, and solution-focused strategies. That means she helps people notice what matters, try small changes, and practice different ways of thinking and acting.

Sarah often works alongside other trauma clinicians when specialized trauma processing is needed. She does preliminary work that prepares people for trauma-focused therapies without claiming specific trauma certifications. She aims to make therapy approachable, sometimes using humor, and keeps conversations grounded in everyday language.

People who meet with Sarah can expect a practical, friendly space to sort through difficult feelings and life changes. She focuses on building a strong working relationship and on steps clients can try between sessions.
