Meet Your Therapist
Hi, I'm Sarah, and I help women heal the part that insight can't reach.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of The Orchid Women's Wellness Center. For years I've sat across from women who are capable, accomplished, and privately exhausted by the gap between how their lives look and how they actually feel. My work is to help you close that gap.

My philosophy
Real change does not happen through insight alone. It happens when healing reaches the places insight cannot touch, the nervous system, the emotional memory, the conditioned responses your body learned long before you had words for them.
So much of my work is about getting underneath the surface struggle to the root. I create a calm, grounded space and use evidence-based methods, paced carefully to match your capacity, so the deeper work always feels safe. My goal is for you to leave therapy not just functioning better, but feeling genuinely lighter, freer, and more yourself.
My faith is a personal foundation for the way I show up: with honesty, warmth, and real care for the whole person. For clients who want it, I integrate Christian counseling. For those who don't, your beliefs are always honored. Either way, you're met as a whole woman, mind, body, and spirit.
In their words
Stories from women who did the work
Every story here belongs to a woman who walked through EMDR and Christian counseling with Sarah, and chose to share what changed.
Sarah Harris’s approach immediately put me at ease. She is genuine and while she shows concern about my comfort level throughout our sessions, she also encourages me to push forward to realize my goals. And once those goals are achieved, she helps me refine new ones. EMDR has been incredibly effective in helping me reframe old ideas that no longer serve me and reinforces my growth and makes my life more manageable. The tools I’ve acquired in my time working with Sarah are lasting and empower me to continue centering myself in the life I wish to live.
At the start of 2024, I made the life-changing decision to try EMDR. Despite great progress with another wonderful therapist, I still battled crippling panic attacks and wasn’t ready to accept anxiety as a permanent part of my story. As a natural skeptic, trying EMDR therapy required a leap of faith—one that completely transformed my life and helped me process my past in a way that traditional therapy never had.
I spent years saying no to anything that felt potentially overwhelming in an attempt to control my anxiety. Since EMDR, fear doesn’t dictate my life anymore. The shift has been undeniable. No longer ruled by panic I found peace, purpose, and the bravery to say “yes” to the life God was calling me to.
Finding Sarah to walk this journey with me was truly a blessing. She is so down to earth, easy to talk to and full of wisdom. Sarah radiates kindness and you can tell how deeply she cares about her patients and the work she does.
When I came to Sarah, who was recommended by my friend, I was nervous, and a little skeptical that therapy could help me. But I was going whole days being disassociated from my surroundings, suffering from panic attacks, and it seemed like I had to try something, because I had reached a low point in my life. I remember before my first virtual visit, although I was not looking forward to talking about my painful feelings or moments that had happened to me, I felt a peace telling me that this was a part of God’s plan for me, and everything was going to be okay. I really appreciated how I could have a weekly virtual call with Sarah after I got home from work, which was something some of the other therapists were not able to offer.
Sarah was always attentive, kind, and supportive, gently suggesting new ways of approaching situations that overall helped me to stop patterns where I was not effectively communicating my needs with others, or creating space I need in my life to recharge. She challenged beliefs I had formed about myself using scripture, experience, and brain science. After I had reached a basic level of healing where I was engaging better with my surroundings, we delved into some past memories and I was surprised how they affected me physiologically, causing my chest to tighten or my bursting into tears. EMDR allowed us to trace commonalities across years of internalization using the bilateral stimulation for my eyes, and we tracked my progress weekly until I was more relaxed and confident with the targeted belief, memory, or behavior. Soon, I was always thinking of the strategy or truth we had worked on, instead of being unknowingly sucked into the same old toxic spirals during my day-to-day life. Truthfully, after three years of therapy, I felt, not that my problems had disappeared or that life would be perfect, but that I could now manage what comes; I had grown so much, and mental illness was part of my testimony, not my personality. I am more bold to be myself and try new things.
I would recommend Sarah to anyone who is in need of some extra support, whether breaking free of an abusive relationship, or tamping down the temptations of perfectionism. She is faithful and knowledgeable, and I am thankful that God has used her in my story to show me that I didn’t have to suffer and solve my problems alone.
I decided to try therapy to deal with my anxiety in dating and my career. EMDR really helped me get rid of those anxious thoughts and boost my self-confidence pretty quickly. I became more confident in my dating life and my career. Working with Sarah was an absolute pleasure! She was incredibly supportive, empathetic, and understanding. I felt so comfortable sharing my struggles from the very first appointment. Since I started therapy, I’ve noticed a big difference in how I handle stress. I feel less overwhelmed and more confident in tackling problems. It’s been a game-changer!
Working with Sarah as my therapist was a truly transformative experience. She helped me see things from a new perspective, uncovering the deep impact of emotions I had long kept buried. She helped me find power in my emotions, to realize what was worth my energy and what to let go. She was always there to listen to me with nothing but understanding. Celebrated my gains with me. Her support was not just comforting but empowering. I think that the tools that she gave me will last for the rest of my life. EMDR helped me recognize the connections in my mind, allowing me to understand how my past was still influencing me. It revealed the patterns I had been following and showed me that, at times, letting go was easier than I had thought. While it didn’t lead to a single big epiphany, it brought clarity in a way that simply made sense.
It’s been a few months since I last had a session with her, but I can still feel the impact therapy had on my life. Even though there has been rough days, I go to sleep knowing tomorrow will be another day to try again. I think now I am much more focused on the present and what I love of it.
Sarah has given me the tools and guidance needed to grow into a more confident woman. The EMDR experience was extremely beneficial on my journey to find my inner confidence. I was able to discover thoughts and memories from my childhood that held me back as an adult. Throughout the EMDR process, I felt myself letting go of what has been holding me back, which has allowed me to move forward and be a confident and successful woman. I would not have been able to make the progress I have made without the help of Sarah. I feel like I am the best version of myself because of her!
Sarah Harris provided a caring, validating ear along with practical Christian counseling. Our visits together made a huge impact on my life. I came to her with sleep issues; waking up in the middle of the night with racing thoughts each night. EMDR therapy helped me tremendously, and sleepless nights are rarely a problem now.
I received help with other issues too. She provided sound advice concerning relationship issues with my mom. Coupled with Sarah’s trained, listening ear, and sound Christian counsel, EMDR therapy changed how I perceive things. This enabled me to respond differently with my mom, which has made a lasting impact. I no longer feel like an angry victim. My voice has been restored, allowing me to speak the truth. I am grateful for the support and counsel I received from Sarah.
