Sara Flowers

I have been with Mares Cares Counseling for eight and a half years, during which time I've worn many hats, from scheduler and receptionist to executive assistant, staff support, and now mental health specialist. My journey has provided me with a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of the therapeutic process.

I specialize in working with teenagers and adults, using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) extensively in my sessions. I also integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based therapy to help clients manage anxiety and depression, build and maintain healthy relationships, and develop confidence and healthy boundaries. My approach is flexible and tailored to meet the unique needs of each client, ensuring they receive the best possible support.
Currently, I hold a Qualified Mental Health Specialist (QMHS) certification and have previously worked as a Peer Recovery Supporter (PRS). My commitment to professional growth and education allows me to bring the most effective and current therapeutic techniques to my practice, and I plan to return to college in 2025 to further my education.

My office is currently at the Commanche location, but I am excited to move to the Arch Street location in a few months. I am available for in-person and remote sessions Monday through Friday, generally from 8:15 AM to 3:15 PM. I strive to provide accessible and flexible scheduling to meet the needs of my clients.

Outside of work, I am a proud mom to two amazing kids who are my absolute life. I've enjoyed coaching their sports teams over the years, and now I cherish my role as a spectator and team mom. As my children grow and become more independent, I'm on a journey to rediscover who I am outside of parenthood, which has been both challenging and rewarding. I love playing soccer and softball, watching sports, and being active outdoors. In my downtime, I enjoy puzzling and finding balance in life!
