Sarah Caras, LPC-Associate

Background and Experience

Sarah works with adults and seniors. She has worked in a crisis center in DFW, and prior to that was a paramedic serving her local community as  well as contracted for the military in Virginia and in the Middle East.  Most of her experience has been with individuals in crisis; and in the areas of stressful life events, chronic illness, military and first responder related traumas and stressors, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, addiction, and challenges faced in the lives of  seniors. Sarah enjoys working with the elderly, individuals experiencing new and chronic health conditions, and with individuals who are looking to make positive changes in their life and process life situations.  Sarah works with each client using a strengths-based, person-centered, holistic approach to address the challenges of their unique situation.  She also helps clients to develop coping skills to help them feel better  equipped to handle challenges in their day to day lives. She provides Christian integration counseling upon request. 

Personal Statement

I  have always had an interest in psychology, counseling, and helping  others. I initially chose to help people through providing emergency care in a variety of settings as an EMT, then paramedic for nearly two decades. After a medical emergency changed nearly every aspect of my  life, I felt called to continue to help others, but through counseling.  My unique background of being born into a military family; having first  hand experiences of challenges faced by first responders, active duty  military personnel and veterans, and military families; and having a  unique insight into what stressors and traumas can lead to physically,  emotionally, and spiritually has informed my passion for creating a safe  place where clients can let their guard down as we explore what has led  them to therapy, create goals to improve their quality of life, and  work towards achieving their goals. I am a cognitive behavioral  therapist who incorporates a person-centered approach to meet each  client where they are surrounding their goals, values, culture, life  stage, and unique situations to make clients feel empowered.
