Sarah Veale

Sarah Veale is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Tennessee with 22 years of clinical experience across three states.

Her career has included roles in inpatient care, residential wards of the state, juvenile detention settings, outpatient private practice, and work at a managed care company.

She has supported children, adolescents, and adults who present with mood and anxiety symptoms, co-occurring substance use and mental health conditions (dual diagnosis), developmental delays, family conflict, self-esteem concerns, self-injury, histories of abuse and neglect, and personality disorders.

Sarah takes a collaborative approach, partnering with clients to improve emotional health by guiding and training them and reinforcing the regular practice of skills learned in therapy. She believes that time, information, and education foster understanding and acceptance, and that these elements are important when change is desired. Together with clients she focuses on enhancing understanding, strengthening coping abilities, and supporting meaningful change.

Her schedule is fairly open and flexible, and she is often able to arrange sessions outside of the visible calendar. She checks messages a couple of times per day from Sunday through Friday and strives to respond within 24 hours. She appreciates clients choosing her and looks forward to working with them.
