Sarah O’Keefe

For several years, I have specialized in helping survivors of sexual abuse & assault heal from the trauma they experienced, often through the use of EMDR, IFS, and Sensorimotor (somatic) therapy. A huge passion of mine is helping survivors of trauma, and creating a safe space for all the parts that so often come along with trauma: anxiety, body shame, people-pleasing, “I don’t know who I am”, mistrust, perfectionism, the list goes on. My work is rooted in a systems, feminist, and size-affirming holistic approach. I feel strongly about my work being queer-affirming, fat positive, anti-racism informed, and social justice-oriented, to be a safe space for people in all types of bodies. As a person with a lot of privilege with the body I live in, I’m committed to continuing my own work in these areas as well and love collaborating with others doing the same. I believe, as a therapist, this is crucial in order to be a safe space holder for clients.
