You may be feeling

  • Stuck in the past: You feel like old memories, relationships, or childhood patterns are actively driving your present-day reactions.

  • On high alert: You experience constant anxiety, hypervigilance, or a feeling that you are never truly safe or relaxed.

  • Emotional physical reactions: Certain triggers cause an immediate, overwhelming wave of emotion or physical tension before your logical brain can catch up.

  • Exhausted by "looping" thoughts: You find yourself stuck in negative thought cycles, self-criticism, or replaying conversations and events over and over.

  • Disconnected: You feel numb, detached from your body, or emotionally distant from the people you care about most.

Sarah Kourouma, LCSW, EMDR-certified therapist in Austin, TX

Sarah Kourouma, LCSW, EMDR Certified

I have dedicated my practice to helping late adolescents and adults reprocess past pain, break free from patterns that keep them feeling stuck, and move toward a more authentic, fulfilling life.

With over 15 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I offer a holistic approach grounded in evidence-based therapies. I also support women who have tested positive for a BRCA 1 or 2 mutation as they navigate its emotional impact.

Together, we’ll explore the internal landscape that shapes your experiences and create space for lasting, meaningful change.
