Advanced EMDR therapy services for those seeking depth, clarity, and lasting emotional resolution on their healing journey through in person therapy and mental health counseling.
Sara Bixby LCSW-C, EMDR Consultant
Sara Bixby
I’m Sara, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) dedicated to empowering lasting healing and resilience through evidence-based therapy services, with a special focus on EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock after a successful early career in human resources — a professional journey that deepened my appreciation for human dignity, growth, and recovery on this healing journey.
As a certified EMDR therapist and an EMDRIA Approved Consultant, I bring advanced training and years of clinical experience to help adults navigate trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, relational challenges, and complex emotional wounds. My work is grounded in the belief that meaningful healing happens in the context of a safe, respectful, and collaborative therapeutic relationship, whether through in person therapy or virtual sessions.
In addition to my clinical work, I provide supervision to emerging clinicians aiming for LCSW licensure and volunteer as a training facilitator to share the power of EMDR with other practitioners. Every day, I am honored to witness the courage it takes for individuals to seek mental health counseling and to help them build the strength, clarity, and resilience they deserve.
