About Me
My name is Sarah Lawley Chernick and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of UT, CA, and FL. I have experience working with a variety of topics including trauma, disordered eating, body image, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and more. I take a holistic approach in therapy and believe it is very important to look at all aspects of our lives when we are on the path towards optimal healing. I utilize many evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure Response and Prevention (ERP) Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. My approach incorporates elements of mindfulness and positive psychology. I have experience working with clients in a variety of settings including schools, community-based mental healthcare, intensive outpatient and inpatient psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment centers, and private practice. I currently own and run Self emBody Therapy, a private practice. I offer online therapy to clients located anywhere in the states of UT, CA, and FL.
