Sarah W. Belka, MA, LMHC, LPC, ATR

I offer therapy to people across the lifespan (in-person all ages, telehealth ages 13+). I am a SPACE trained provider and can support family members of someone living with anxiety disorders and OCD. The majority of my therapy practice supports folks living with Body Focused Repetitive Disorders, Generalized Anxiety, OCD, OCPD, Panic, Phobias and other co-occurring disorders (like Autism, Depression, PANS/PANDAS, and PTSD). I offer a 3 week intensive outpatient program for OCD that offers both options of ERP and I-CBT online or in-person (Bellingham, WA).

Co-occurring anxiety disorders, depression, and neurodivergence is very common in the obsessive-compulsive spectrum. I address what is most impactful to the person first using evidence-based practices. Sometimes this means addressing co-occurring issues first that might interfere with treatment.

I have specialized in Anxiety & OCD treatment since 2021 and have been in the mental health field since 2016. I completed BTTI training in pediatric OCD. I offer an integrated approach using evidence-based practices and expressive therapies to support recovery. Additionally, I have been trained in Rumination-Focused ERP by Greenberg and Metacognitive Therapy with Pia Callesen.

I feel honored to have learned from and supported individuals in many settings: community-based counseling with youth and families in crisis, group practice, partial hospitalization program for OCD, residential and schools.

I host clinical consultations and professional trainings for providers.

As a therapist and citizen, I remain committed to lifelong learning about identity and practicing cultural humility. My practice is affirming of all bodies, identities, genders, relationships dynamics and sexualities. I deeply cares about making genuine connection with clients, so they feel safe being their authentic and vulnerable self in therapy.

My relationship to cultural competency is shaped by lived experiences as well as my education in systems deeply committed to social justice and the multicultural lens. I understand that the therapy space is not apolitical and aims to be an advocate for clients both in and outside of the therapy space.

“What if it all works out” OCD support group meets online every other Wednesdays from 5-6:15pm for $60 private pay, open to folks nationally who identify as living with anxiety and OCD. https://www.sarah-weber.org/groups
