Sara Pollard, LMSW
Associate Therapist
Sara Pollard is a Licensed Master Social Worker with over 18 years of experience working in veterinary medicine, where she provided compassionate support to individuals navigating the unique challenges of the profession. After the tragic loss of a colleague to suicide in 2010 and witnessing the profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Sara broadened her focus to address mental health needs more holistically. She is passionate about creating spaces for healing, resilience, and the prevention of suicidal ideation through accessible and empathetic mental health care. In her practice, Sara offers psychotherapy with a focus on grief support, trauma recovery, addressing adverse childhood experiences, improving family dynamics, and fostering resilience. Guided by the age-old adage in medicine that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” Sara works collaboratively with clients to help them process their experiences, identify their strengths, and build tools for navigating life’s complexities before challenges become crises. Sara is also deeply committed to supporting LGBTQ individuals, creating an affirming space where clients can explore their identities, overcome obstacles, and thrive. Her inclusive approach ensures that everyone feels seen, valued, and supported in their mental health journey. While Sara’s roots in veterinary medicine inform her perspective and understanding of professional stressors, her approach is designed to support individuals from all backgrounds. She is dedicated to empowering clients to prioritize their mental health and well-being, believing that therapeutic care provides clients with the tools, empathy, and support needed to engage in meaningful inner work. With a foundation of collaboration and trust, she helps clients navigate their unique paths toward healing and growth. Sara’s mission is guided by her belief that mental health is a cornerstone of a fulfilling life. Through her work, she strives to reduce stigma, provide compassionate support, and inspire meaningful change in how we address mental health challenges.
