Somatic and Trauma Informed Therapist Specializing in Chronic Pain and Anxiety Charlottesville, VA

Are you exhausted from the running dialogue of your mind?

Do you believe if you could just do enough, be enough, or find the right formula your pain and anxiety will go away? 

You likely know and have tried lots of things but aren't finding relief. 

You know WHAT to do but not HOW to make it work.

You don't have to go through it alone. Together we will...

Build Trust in Your Body, Find Strength in Connection.


Perhaps you've tried therapy and talking didn't feel like enough. 

Sarah Cooper, LCSW is a therapist in Charlottesville, VA and offers a different approach through Somatic Experiencing.


You will learn to integrate mind and body, learning to turn off your automatic internal alarms when they are not needed. 

We will practice leaning into what brings you pleasure and what helps you feel safe. 

You will learn to trust your body rather than being ruled by your thoughts. 


At Collective Strength Counseling, we partner with you to find your inner strength and wisdom.
