Learn About Sarah Rapisardo (She/Her)

Sarah Rapisardo, LPC

I believe that as humans, we are naturally learning and moving towards growth every day. If you have found yourself browsing this page, that likely means you are feeling stuck in some way and are wanting to get back on track. Maybe your goal is to learn about yourself, process a difficult experience, recognize your unhealthy patterns to keep them from repeating, learn some healthier ways to cope, love yourself a little more, or worry a little less. Whether one of these goals resonated with you or you have another goal entirely, I can help you.

Our experiences in life greatly shape how we view the world and how we function in it, and although we cannot change the past, we can change how we heal from it and what we do moving forward. I will offer a non-judging and safe space for us to explore how you view the world, how you function in it and if you want to change either of those things. I am a firm believer that having been the only one in this world that has lived your experiences, YOU are the expert of you. You are the one in charge of creating that path to becoming a healthier version of you- but I will gladly be right alongside you: encouraging your growth, offering guidance, recognizing your strengths, and helping to foster confidence in using new skills.

I graduated with my Master of Education in Counseling from UMSL and have experience working in both inpatient and outpatient settings with people who are struggling with managing co-occurring disorders. I am passionate about helping people with goals related to substance use, mental health, codependency, self-esteem, relationship issues, life transitions, or anyone just in search of a place where they can be the most authentic version of themselves. I believe in client-centered therapy and often pull from various techniques based on what will be most beneficial for you. If you are willing to take that first step, I would be happy to join you so we can figure out the next step together.
