About Sara
Hi, I’m Sara Abels, a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Colorado with over two decades of experience supporting individuals and families in academic settings, counseling centers, and yoga studios. I hold a Master’s in Clinical-Counseling Psychology and have worked extensively in community mental health, academia, and trauma-informed care. My counseling approach is deeply informed by my training in EMDR, Somatic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. I specialize in helping adolescents, adults, and parents navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and perinatal mental health, always creating a safe, grounded, and collaborative space for healing.
Before becoming a therapist full-time, I spent over a decade teaching and training in yoga and mindfulness practices—particularly prenatal, postnatal, and family yoga. That experience deeply shaped my integrative approach to mental health. Whether we’re working through deep-rooted trauma or everyday stressors, I bring warmth, curiosity, and a belief in your capacity to heal and grow. Therapy with me is compassionate, validating, and personalized to meet your unique needs and goals.
Sara Abels, MS, LPC, EMDRIA Certified Therapist™
