Sara A. Showalter Van Tongeren, LCSW

I help people reconnect with themselves and others through therapy, writing, and engaging in public conversations about existential fears, grief and loss, identity, and meaning.

We can learn to trust again, to love again, and to believe in something greater again. My clinical practice, consultation services, writing, and speaking is all based on this one simple truth: healing happens in relationships. For many people, the beginning steps toward healing occur within the context of therapy, a space where we can explore grief, religious trauma, life transitions, identity, and the deeper questions of what it means to be human.
