Important Note
As a psychology practice, I do not provide emergency or crisis services. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please use one of the resources above to get immediate support.
​
If you are a current client experiencing increased distress but not in immediate danger, please email me at sara.menla@gmail.com and I will respond during my next available business hours.

​Remember, reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Support is available, and you don't have to face difficult times alone.
