Sarah Gabrielle Barajas

From playful interactions to evidence-based interventions, Sarah Gabrielle Barajas brings a versatile approach to her work as a Psychological Associate at Healing Solutions Family Therapy Center. Specializing in the treatment of young children and adolescents, Sarah recognizes the unique challenges faced by youth and their families, tailoring her therapeutic methods to meet the specific needs of each client.

Sarah's expertise shines through her utilization of a diverse range of therapeutic techniques. She is well-versed in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), an approach that helps clients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. For those who have experienced trauma, Sarah employs Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT), a specialized form of CBT designed to address the impact of traumatic experiences on young minds.

Understanding that traditional talk therapy may not always be the most effective approach for younger children, Sarah incorporates play therapy into her practice. This method allows children to express themselves and work through their challenges in a natural, comfortable setting. By using play as a medium for communication and healing, Sarah creates a safe space for her young clients to explore their emotions and develop coping strategies.

Sarah's commitment to working with families as a whole underscores her holistic approach to mental health. By involving parents and other family members in the therapeutic process, she fosters a supportive environment that extends beyond the therapy room, promoting lasting positive changes in her clients' lives.
