Our team
Sarah Ziske, LPC Associate
The journey of life is full of many twists and turns. This can include moments when you are struggling to move on to the next stage, or you feel you might not be enough. There can also be times when the world around you is too loud and you feel there appears to be no path to find peace. In some cases even, something life-altering has occurred and you are struggling to not let it define you and your journey. As we experience these transitions, dead ends, and blocks, correcting our course and rediscovering our ideal path can be hard. During these moments, I can help you navigate your new normal and learn new skills of self-acceptance and self-discovery to guide you to moments of peace and understanding.
I’m Sarah Ziske, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, supervised by Dr. Jessica Endres, LPC-S. My background includes working in trauma-focused settings, which have allowed me to gain experiences that prepared me to assist those who may have a difficult time readjusting after major life events or transitions. It can be scary to share personal stories with another person! That's reasonable. This is why, first and foremost, I value your comfort in our therapeutic relationship. I will challenge you towards growth, but never let you feel unsafe in therapy with me. There is no one that I would not offer this to. I strive to make you feel like you belong because you do. This includes everyone - those from all walks of life, genders, races, cultures, religions, and orientations.
My primary theoretical approach is anchored in Gestalt where I will work with you to bring awareness to your feelings and help connect them to how you interact with the world around you. We will work together to create balance and self-acceptance within yourself to allow for deep self-discovery and the therapeutic goals you want to achieve. There are many times we need a mirror or someone to point out emotions and moments of clarity to allow reflection and feelings of wholeness. During our sessions together, I will act as that mirror to guide you to the right road map to discover new parts of yourself. All journeys come to an end - and so will our therapy sessions one day. Once we have reached a point where therapy is no longer needed, I will ensure you have the right toolkit so you can continue your adventure with confidence, responsibility for your feelings, validation, and self-acceptance.
Overall, my goal is to get you where you want to be mentally and emotionally. My first goal though is to meet you where you're at and build a plan for treatment from there that is unique to you. If anything on this page has spoken to you, please reach out so we can see if we are a good match. I believe that each person has the power to heal and I would love to be the person to help you on your journey.
