Hello & WELCOME!

Hello, friends! My name is Sarah Tellesbo (she/her/hers) and I’m a feminist therapist here for the rebels and all you wonderfully anti-authority, smash-the-patriarchy people of the world. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and I’ve been working in the mental health world for over a decade. I currently work with folks in Utah and California and I adore what I do.

While I work with all kinds of people, I specialize in supporting folks who don’t fit into the societal mold for one reason or another. I especially enjoy working with women, folks in the LGBTQIA+ community, sex workers, folks who are experiencing religious transitions, and folks who are living with chronic illness and/or chronic pain. I have personal ties to each of these communities which helps me show up and hold space with authentic empathy.

In terms of my approach, I am radically and unapologetically body positive, sex positive, and LGBTQIA+ affirming. I believe that the political is personal and the personal is political. I use lots of different tools to help folks, but my favorites include Feminist-Multicultural Therapy, Existential Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Human-Centered Therapy. I am not a robot therapist, and I often use self-disclosure as a therapeutic tool and means of building helping relationships with my clients.

When I’m not at work, I love spending time with my friends and family. I have two cats named Max and Whiskey and a slew of neighborhood wildlife that enjoy hanging out in my backyard. I’m a nerd and love reading, playing video games, and knitting. Yellowstone and the Redwoods are two of my favorite places on the planet and I’ve never met a slice of bread that I don’t love.

I’m so glad you’re here. Grab a drink, have a seat, and let’s chat about life!

Oh, and in case it’s not clear, #FREEPALESTINE and end all colonization, occupation, and oppression throughout the world.
