About
Sarah Hope, LCPC, practices in Illinois and brings ten years of clinical experience to a broad range of presenting concerns. She describes herself as intuitive, empathic, and inquisitive, and traces her path to counseling through personal experiences with anxiety and depression. Those early challenges and the support she received inform her commitment to helping others navigate intrusive thoughts, panic, and shifts in mood. She emphasizes the belief that there is no single right way to be and that human imperfection is part of what connects people.
Her training includes a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adler University, completed in 2015. Her background encompasses work with individuals experiencing addiction and severe mental illness, outreach with homeless populations, and time spent supporting street children in New Delhi. She has administered neurofeedback and provided counseling in a practice in the suburbs of Chicago. She reports experience across an age range from children to older adults and highlights particular focus on adolescence and young adulthood.
Therapeutically she draws from an integrative foundation, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques alongside existential ideals and humanistic validation. She aims to build rapport through professional boundaries, collaborative learning, gentle humor, and selective self-disclosure while addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationships, trauma, and addiction.
