Sara J. Cobb

Introduction

Welcome, I’m Sara! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Nationally Certified

Counselor (NCC) with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwest

Nazarene University (NNU), with a focus on Grief, Trauma, and Crisis. My professional

background includes work in communications, massage therapy, and public library

reference—each of which has shaped my holistic and creative approach to counseling.

About Me

As a counselor, I prioritize empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. My

approach is holistic and humanistic, grounded in the belief that everyone deserves a safe,

supportive space to explore their emotions, identities, and life experiences. I collaborate with

clients to foster insight, healing, and personal growth, while honoring the unique beliefs,

backgrounds, and systems that shape their lives.

My experience includes working with adults, college students, and groups. I’ve facilitated grief

support groups, conducted psychoeducational webinars for individuals involved in domestic

violence treatment programs, provided individual counseling and crisis intervention, and

managed office operations at a counseling agency. I’m passionate about suicide prevention and

grief support, and I strive to reduce stigma through open, compassionate conversations about

mental health.

My work is informed by a commitment to lifelong learning and personal development. My

previous experience in the public library system sharpened my skills in research, organization,

and community engagement—skills I now use to help clients access the tools and resources

they need.

Outside the Office

Outside of counseling, I enjoy long walks with friends, working on cross-stitch and art projects,

playing Block Cube and word games, binge-watching favorite TV shows, going to the movies,

reading and listening to books, keeping up with podcasts, exploring my family’s genealogy, and

treasure-hunting in thrift stores.
