Better Mental Health is Possible
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges, therapy can help you gain insight, develop effective coping skills, and build a more fulfilling life. You don't have to face life's difficulties alone.
Meet Your Therapist
My name is Sarah Kress and I work as a licensed therapist and clinical social worker (LCSW/LICSW) in North Carolina. As the owner of Better Mental Health PLLC, I help adults overcome impacts of trauma and mental illness, increase self-esteem, and learn skills for healing and thriving.
My counseling approach follows a holistic framework for physical, psychological, social, and spiritual well-being. I integrate a variety of counseling techniques to meet every client's unique needs. My goal is to provide a compassionate space where you feel heard, understood, and supported throughout your healing journey.
Individual Psychotherapy
Therapy may be helpful if you are experiencing anxiety or excessive worry, depression or low motivation, painful memories and overwhelming emotions, compulsive behaviors, or difficulty managing stress.
I-CBT Treatment for OCD
Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) is a specialized 12 week treatment program for adults with OCD. Each module builds upon the previous one to help you better understand OCD and develop skills for overcoming obsessional doubt.
Clinical Supervision
Becoming a skilled therapist is a journey that extends far beyond earning a graduate degree. Clinical supervision provides a supportive environment to strengthen your counseling skills and professional identity.
