Finding the right therapist is important.

Hi there! I'm Sarah Wood, and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Claremont, California. I specialize in trauma-focused therapy and sex-positive therapy. I've been in practice for over a decade, and my job isn't just work for me – it's my passion, and I love what I do. I place great importance on the relationship in therapy: on forming an authentic connection with you, helping you create a sense of safety, and allowing you to feel seen and understood. I help guide my clients through a process of increased somatic awareness, nervous system regulation, and self-compassion.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

I specialize in working with survivors of interpersonal trauma, such as childhood abuse or sexual assault, and with adult children of alcoholic or dysfunctional families. I can help you unpack and unlearn the harmful messages from your past, and create a better life.

EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desentization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a tool that helps people heal from traumatic and stressful life events. It can significantly reduce emotional distress and other unpleasant symptoms, and can lead to long-lasting, meaningful change.

Somatic Therapy

Somatic therapy focuses on the connection of mind and body in the healing process. Through developing awareness of the mind-body connection, you can learn to release activation in your nervous system. It's helpful for treating stress, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and PTSD symptoms.

Outdoor Meditation
Sex-Positive Therapy

I'm a sex-positive, LGBTQIA+ affirming, polyamory-friendly and kink-conscious therapist. I love helping clients develop a healthier relationship with their sexuality and sexual identity, and I create an accepting and non-judgmental space for clients to share openly and honestly about themselves.
