Together Counseling's Story

I founded Together Counseling with the belief that there is power in doing hard things together with someone trusted in your life. I hold the mindset that "someone trusted" to you might be a very special animal, a friend, a relative, or a professional.

Ever tried to move a very heavy piece of furniture all by yourself? Hellbent and determined to get the task done, you contort yourself into any shape to nudge said piece of furniture where you want it...and you're kinda proud of it? You did the darn thing! Never mind that your back hurts the next day...

Together Counseling has a lot in common with moving heavy furniture... You probably can move your own stuff (i.e. emotions, perfectionism, disordered eating, high risk behaviors, etc.) with pure grit and determination. You're independent and strong, dang it! But you don't have to.

Together Counseling exists to help carry your load...because, after all, you don't have to move that heavy piece of furniture all by yourself.

Sarah Duval, LPC, CEDS

I'm a down-to-earth clinician with a special focus on helping individuals struggling with over-thinking, anxiety, depression, and/or eating disorders. I draw from my experience as a DBT and RO DBT clinician with special training in eating disorders treatment. I have worked in higher levels of care for adolescents and adults with anxiety, mood, personality, and/or eating disorder diagnoses. My goal is to compassionately meet you right where you are and then nudge (okay...sometimes push) you out of your own way.

I work well with:

High performers or perfectionists experiencing burn out

Individuals sorting through disordered eating, diet culture, and/or poor body image

College students or young adults experiencing life transitions or grief

Individuals with emotional dysregulation and ineffective coping patterns

Individuals struggling with chronic self-harm or suicidal ideation*

*Will be evaluated to confirm therapeutic needs are appropriate for virtual, outpatient level of care. Referrals will be provided in the event of inappropriate fit.
