Sara Smithson

My clients describe me as:

Calm, thoughtful, patient, honest, and down-to-earth. I like to have answers to the "why," but I also thoroughly enjoy ridiculousness.

Something to know about my approach is:

I help easily misunderstood people, whether introverted, shy, or inhibited—or—outwardly expressive, gregarious, or impulsive, figure out how to wield their unique strengths, get out of their own way, connect with others, and thrive.

Together, we will:

Seize this day. It's one of the most socially appropriate times in modern history to be a bit of a mess, but all this change also creates a unique opportunity to go in entirely new directions. I'm here to support you in finding your path forward.

I specialize in working with people who:

Are a bit unique & beyond the norm, such as: deep thinkers lodged in cycles of anxiety & depression, sensitive hearts overwhelmed by relationships or experiences, and outside-the-box or neurodivergent people seeking to feel connected or successful.

I became a therapist because:

I was born with an excess of curiosity and empathy. I find meaning in helping others create their own meaning.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

My counseling services are offered exclusively online via secure live video for teens and adults located anywhere in Washington state or Montana.

More about me and my practice:

I am not in-network with insurance. I offer superbills to submit for eligible out-of-network reimbursement and reserve a limited number of reduced fee spots for clients without coverage. Please see my website for more info & scheduling.
