My name is Sarah Jongsma, and my passion is assisting people of all ages to empower themselves to create an environment with less stress and more joy. I enjoy working with clients of all ages who are struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, personality disorders and mood disorders. I have years of experience working with children and adolescents who are struggling with coping with stressors they face in today’s world. In addition, I work with couples who are struggling with infertility. From personal experience, I offer practical support for couples who are navigating that road.
In 2003, I graduated from GVSU with a Masters in Social Work. Since then, I’ve worked in a variety of settings. When you meet me, you will see that I use a direct and honest approach, and I employ several treatment modalities—practical techniques—which include CBT, DBT, solution-focused, patient centered and mindfulness.
We all know: Life is complicated. And through the high points and low points, we need tools to help us build a better world for ourselves and our families. I believe you have everything you need to succeed right inside of yourself, and together we can discover the best way for you to use your gifts to succeed.
