Hi, my name is Sara Hooks!

I specialize in compassionate, trauma-informed clinical care for individuals and families navigating the complexities of maladaptive substance use, process addictions, and co-occurring mental health disorders.

As a Master’s-level Licensed Social Worker and Addiction Counselor, my practice integrates evidence-based techniques with a deep understanding of the human experience to foster lasting healing.

Why Work With Me?

Recovery is more than just abstinence; it is about addressing the underlying trauma and attachment wounds that drive compulsive behaviors.

Whether you are struggling with a specific diagnosis or feeling stuck in repetitive relationship patterns, we will work together to recover and restore the most precious parts of yourself.

I am also a woman in long-term recovery and bring a specific lived experience to my professional practice.
