    My Therapeutic Approach

    I utilize a multi-faceted clinical lens to ensure your treatment is as unique as your story:

    • Specialized Modalities: EMDR-trained and highly proficient in somatic healing therapies, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and Attachment Theory.

    • Clinical Focus: Expert care for a multitude of mental health diagnoses, including personality disorders, anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, and process addictions.

    • Relationship Support: Guidance on resolving interpersonal relationship issues, addressing codependent patterns of behavior, grief and loss issues, and strengthening communication skills to enhance relationships and social bonds.

    • Trauma-Informed Lens: A safe, grounded environment that prioritizes your stabilization and empowerment.

  • I earned my Master's Degree in Social Work from Wichita State University with a concentration in Addiction Studies. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Educational Studies from the University of Missouri-Columbia with a concentration in Special Education and Neurodivergence.  

  • 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.
