Welcome!
My name is Sarah Jurrens, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Oregon and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Washington. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Oregon State University, where my major coursework included Social and Cultural Perspectives and Systems Theory, with a focus on Social Justice.

I bring a wealth of life and professional experience to my work and continuously seek out the latest evidence-based practices to support treatment, techniques, and overall quality of life. I’m particularly passionate about deepening my understanding of ADHD and its impact—especially on women and individuals within the LGBTQ+ community. This includes exploring the safety and effects of psychopharmacological treatment options for ADHD.

Over the years, I’ve encountered many women who are striving to reclaim their values and desires from the expectations society has placed upon them. These expectations often breed shame and confusion around identity. It can feel daunting to step fully into oneself as an adult woman. That’s what inspired me to start this private practice over five years ago, fresh out of graduate school—with an idea, determination, and a whole lot of heart.

 Watching it grow and witnessing women heal and flourish beyond what they ever imagined, has been a dream come true. And I’ve grown alongside them.

My focus shifted in recent years as I began working more extensively with ADHD clients. Through this work, I recognized many symptoms in myself, which led to my own assessment and diagnosis of ADHD-Inattentive Type at the age of 44. This personal discovery changed everything. Since then, ADHD has become a central specialty in my practice. I’ve immersed myself in learning—reading, watching, and listening to everything I could—and completed extensive training in executive functioning, disability support, psychopharmacology, trauma, skill development, and advocacy. I also earned certification as an ADHD Certified Clinical Specialist (ADHD-CCSP).

ADHD is now a deep passion of mine, alongside my foundational work in helping women recover from trauma and reconnect with their authentic selves. I’ve found that ADHD and trauma often intertwine, especially for those whose diagnosis was missed during childhood. Unpacking the shame that accumulates over years of feeling “not enough” is critical for healing. It’s an absolute honor to walk alongside women who are working hard to claim the life they deserve.

I hope you’ll join me and take that next step toward your own healing. I’d love to work with you.
