Ms Sara Ouimette

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

An experienced, compassionate depth psychotherapist who specializes in grief counseling for individual adults.

About Me

This experienced depth psychotherapist compassionately supports individual adults navigating grief. They create a secure, thoughtful space to explore the deeper layers of loss, helping clients make sense of complex, overwhelming emotions. This approach fosters profound personal understanding, allowing individuals to gently process their unique sorrow. It is ideal for adults seeking an empathetic and seasoned guide through their journey of loss.

Approach

My work unfolds through a careful slowing of pace, allowing what feels most present to emerge and be attended to. In an Oakland office or through secure online sessions in English, we notice bodily sensations, recurring dreams, and the small shifts that happen between meetings. I combine reflective listening with Jungian-informed exploration—using imagery, dream material, and gentle trauma framing—to trace patterns held in body, spirit, and memory. This approach tends to help adults seeking steadiness, depth, and a thoughtful companion while navigating loss.
