About Sarah Edinger

I am a proud graduate of The University of Tennessee College of Social Work! As a therapist, I consider myself an everyday resource, accessible resource, offering a safe and supportive space for individuals to navigate and process life's various stressors. I do not believe you have to have a formal diagnosis to receive the benefits of therapy, I recognize insurance requires as formal diagnosis. I dislike being label locked. I am not EMDR trained, I work with many trauma therapists collaboratively in related cases and conducts preliminary work for trauma processing and EMDR processing. I take an integrated approach from many modalities including Accepting, Solution Focused, CBT, Cognitive Restructuring among others. I am down to earth, rarely speak in clinical "speak" unless trying to educate and I love to laugh and make therapy the best possible experience. The alliance between me and my client is the best indicator of success. I have over 20 years of experience in multiple setting including schools and community mental health and private practice. I love just providing a safe place for anyone to help sort out difficulties or process life in general.
