About Sarah Mansfield

I am a Registered Psychologist working with adults and adolescents (16+) to improve their social and emotional health by accessing their inner wisdom and resilience. I am a client-centered and strength-based clinician who is committed to establishing a strong  therapeutic relationship, while using an integrated and trauma-informed approach. 

​

Born and raised in Northern Ontario, I relocated to Nova Scotia in 2018 to continue my work in the field of psychology and to be closer to the ocean. I have experience providing psychotherapy and conducting psychological assessments in private practice and community clinics. I have formal training in various treatment modalities including, but not limited to, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), allowing me the flexibility to match the client to the modality based on fit and needs. I provide treatment to those with trauma, mood and anxiety related difficulties, emotion dysregulation, as well as challenges with attachment, sense of self, and stress.

​

Currently, my focus has been on supporting individuals experiencing post-traumatic stress and trauma experienced across the lifespan using Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). I also use CBT, DBT-informed practices, and strategies to assist clients in achieving a calm body state, essential when processing trauma and establishing an overall sense of connection to self and others.

​

Experiencing trauma of any kind has a profound impact on various areas of life, which means treating an individual as a whole person. It is my belief that choice is an essential component of such work, where the client sets the pace and direction of treatment, meeting each client where they're at, while providing a safe, secure environment for all clients.

​

I am an open, enthusiastic, and humorous individual who values authenticity, collaboration, and self-inquiry. Connecting with others brings me great joy that I feel honoured to join clients on their healing journey.
