Depth-oriented therapy for grief, the perinatal period, anxiety, and life's thresholds.
Telehealth in Oregon, Illinois, and Tennessee
Welcome
Whoever you are, whatever you are carrying, you are welcome.
Perhaps anxiety keeps you on alert. Maybe painful experiences from the past continue to shape how you move through the world. Or a major life change has upended your world and left you uncertain about who you are and what comes next.
You may be thoughtful, sensitive, and deeply attuned to others—while finding it difficult to offer yourself that same care. Or maybe you find yourself living mainly in your head, and want to connect more to your emotions and feelings.
Let’s turn toward it all together.
I'm Sara Lytle (she/her), LCSW, MDiv, and I offer depth-oriented psychotherapy for adults navigating anxiety, trauma, postpartum, grief, and significant life transitions. My practice is relational and client-centered, and I integrate parts work, mindfulness, and somatic-informed approaches. I am based in Eugene, Oregon, and I work with folks via telehealth living in Oregon, Illinois, and Tennessee.
Therapy rooted in relationship.
I believe healing happens in relationship.
My work is grounded in psychodynamic and existential psychotherapy and informed by AEDP, parts work, somatic approaches, and ACT. That’s a lot of acronyms! Fundamentally, I believe that when we turn toward ourselves and our experience with compassion rather than judgment, we create space for healing. We begin to say to our whole selves and our whole experience: you are welcome here. From here, change naturally unfolds.
