Gideon Counseling

At Sarah Gideon M.A., LPC, we believe that owning our stories and embracing our vulnerabilities is the first step towards healing and growth. As a licensed professional counselor, I, Sarah Gideon, am dedicated to providing a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their struggles and overcome their challenges.

Practice Areas

My approach to therapy is client-centered, which means that I believe that you are the expert in your life, and my role is to provide guidance and support. I have extensive experience in working with individuals who have experienced trauma, including physical and sexual abuse, neglect, and commercial sexual exploitation. I am trained in several trauma-informed therapies, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI).

My practice areas include:

• Psychiatric Evaluation: I am trained in completing mental health assessments and providing mental health diagnoses using the DSM 5.
• EMDR: I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a therapy approach that has been shown to be effective in treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other trauma-related disorders.
• Substance Abuse: I have experience treating substance abuse and substance-use related disorders in both adults and adolescents.
• Adult Psychotherapy: I specialize in providing psychotherapy to adults with a focus on complex trauma, self-esteem, skills-building, and career and vocational guidance.
• Adolescent Psychotherapy: I provide crisis intervention services and counseling services for adolescents, ages 12-17, focusing on issues such as PTSD, sexual and physical abuse, neglect, attachment wounding, and substance use disorders.

Accreditation and Affiliations

I am a member of the American Counseling Association (ACA) and the Trauma-Informed Care Consortium of Texas. I am also affiliated with the Williamson County Mental Health Task Force and the Wilco Human Trafficking Coalition.

Education and Training

I hold a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Mary-Hardin Baylor and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Southwestern University.
