Sarah Hammill, LCSW
Sarah specializes in helping teens and adults recover from traumatic events such as sexual assault, sudden loss, childhood abuse or divorce. She works with clients to treat common symptoms such as depression, anxiety, issues with sexuality and chronic pain.
Because trauma affects the body, Sarah combines traditional psychotherapy with a somatic focus to bring relief to the whole self. This approach is holistic, relational and highly personalized. She believe in the human capacity to heal. Her job is to guide that process. Sarah has advanced training in contemporary psychodynamic theory. She leads community workshops on trauma recovery and trains doctors and psychiatrists in the Sutter Health System. She has completed training in teen mental health at Albany High School and is certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), an effective approach for teens. Ashley Nelson, ASW

She works in partnership with you to identify and address areas of difficulty, such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues and addiction. Ashley works from a relational perspective and integrates somatic and psychodynamic approaches to address both mind and body.
