Moonstone Mental Health

Sarah Pachler Journey, LCSW, C-IAYT

Experiences of trauma, anxiety, depression, high stress, life transitions, and conflict often feel like incredible obstacles to finding your peace, clarity, and self esteem. Holistic therapy integrates traditional forms of psychotherapy with attention to the whole person and the importance of the mind-body connection. My intention is to give you a safe place to understand yourself better, to heal, and to find balance. Together, we can clear those obstacles and give you the tools and support to move forward with confidence and ease.

“the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own”

-Mary Oliver

About Sarah (she/her)

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience in the field of social work, mental health, and advocacy.

Using a compassionate and collaborative approach, I blend a variety of trauma informed modalities including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Comprehensive Yoga Therapy. My prior work experience also informs my work, and includes medical social work, community mental health, domestic violence, and education. I have additional training in CBT, gender affirming care, yoga therapy, complex PTSD, EMDR, and mindfulness based stress reduction.
