Therapy weaves life into the fabric of our stories. We may seem rootless, but our roots spread far and wide. We struggle to make sense of our wonders, worries, and wanderings; our adventures. I love deeply those adventures. Narrative Therapy (Dulwich style) cultivates awareness, wisdom, and meaning in your life, and in the lives of others. It encourages vigorous authority over our unfolding narratives. I bring lived experience to our shared tasks of healing and finding - healing the aching, anger, anxiety and fear; finding new meaning, vigor, pride, and hope. I believe that our growing sense of fellowship, adventure, and even duty rekindles our hearts to both meaningful purpose and priceless perspective. We thrive when we find each other again, regardless of the time passed.

Meet
Sarah Murray
Psychotherapist
My mission is to guide people through loss and trauma toward acceptance and healing. Therapy isn't a space where we "fix ourselves," but rather where we find ourselves in our pain and discover how strong we are in the process. Going to therapy is self-empowerment. It means making a conscious decision to start exploring and accepting all parts of self so that you can feel empowered to live your best life. As a clinician, I meet each client where they are, honor their individuality and unique life experience, and co-create a space where they can feel—and heal—trauma, loss, and grief.
​
I encourage clients to lead the conversation and ask questions to help them gain insight, reframe their perspectives, and achieve greater self-awareness. By providing this safe container to unpack your lived experience, we’ll create coping strategies to find hope, overcome trauma, and move through grief.
Inviting deep reflection into your life can help you find acceptance. By creating a warm and non-judgmental container for you to process your experiences, I can help you find a new perspective, strength, and wisdom.
Why Psychotherapy?
Your whole life could change.
At Duxbury Counseling we use traditional methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy along with nontraditional approaches such as mindfulness to accomplish the deepest level of healing possible. We believe that the mind, body and spirit can be viewed as one unit working in harmony and seeking integration and balance. We provide a safe and comfortable environment to work with clients, one in which we uncover conflicts, process trauma, depression and anxiety. We will work together to come up with useful tools to improve daily functioning and find happiness.
