Sara Kirkpatrick, LCSW

Hello to all,
My name is Sara Kirkpatrick. I am a licensed therapist in Illinois. I have a bachelors degree from EIU and a Masters from Aurora University.

As a therapist, I genuinely enjoy connecting with people and appreciate the vulnerability involved in asking for help. Virtual therapy offers the convenience of receiving support from your own space, making it easier to fit into your schedule.

I show up as a real, imperfect human who genuinely cares. I create a space where you can be your authentic self without fear of judgment, offering understanding and connection so you can feel safe and supported.

I focus on self-awareness, mindfulness, emotional regulation, stress management, compassion, and authentic living. By exploring the thoughts, beliefs, and emotions behind behaviors, you can make meaningful progress and deepen your self-understanding. I work with individuals seeking guidance through life’s challenges, believing that everyone benefits from being heard and understood.

I integrate mind and body approaches, addressing the whole person for deeper healing. With extensive training in mindfulness therapy, I empower clients to cultivate present-moment awareness, manage stress, and enhance emotional regulation, fostering resilience and well-being.

In my free time I am a mom of 2 kids. We have 2 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, 1 cat, 1 chicken, and 2 fish. I like to go on walks in nature, bird watch, take photos, read, and cook. I am probably the least fancy person you will ever meet.
