Meet Sara
Sara Kercho is a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate supervised by Laura Wright, MS, LPC-S, RYT. She earned her master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lamar University and holds a Bachelor of Science in International Communication from Texas Christian University. Sara is an EMDR-trained therapist and a member of the American Counseling Association. She works with teenagers and adults, helping them navigate life’s challenges, process difficult experiences, and develop a deeper connection with themselves.
Sara takes an integrative approach to counseling, recognizing that healing looks different for everyone. She is interested in how our experiences shape the way we think, feel, and move through the world. Sara recognizes that life’s challenges can leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. She enjoys exploring the therapeutic benefits of movement and mindfulness in her own wellness journey and her work beyond the therapy space.
She often combines somatic therapy with talk therapy, drawing from attachment theory, parts work, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). EMDR can help clients reprocess painful memories so they feel less distressing, while somatic and parts-informed approaches can support a deeper understanding of emotional experiences, protective patterns, and the mind-body connection.
A note from Sara:
I want therapy to feel like a space where you can exhale, show up as you are, and let yourself be human. I strive to create a compassionate environment where you feel comfortable exploring the parts of yourself and your life that are in need of care, without the pressure to have everything figured out.
My hope is that our work together helps you feel heard, better understand yourself, and develop a deeper connection with your thoughts, emotions, body, and experiences. I bring an open-minded, nonjudgmental presence to our work and believe healing begins with curiosity, compassion, and the freedom to explore yourself without judgment.
I also bring authenticity into the therapeutic relationship and hope you feel free to do the same. That might even look like showing up in your comfiest clothes. You don't have to perform, have all the right words, or present a polished version of yourself here. The UnEarthed/Dandelion House studio offers a unique setting that feels different from a traditional office or clinic. Our conversations often feel natural and down-to-earth, while still providing the support, intention, and professional structure of therapy.
I recognize what a privilege it is to hold space for your story, your healing, and your growth. I'm here to meet you where you are and work alongside you as you discover what wellness and meaningful change look like for you. I want you to find the right therapist for you even if that doesn’t end up being me, so don’t hesitate to set up a free 15 minute consultation.
A little more about me:
Before transitioning into counseling, I spent a decade as a high school dance teacher and drill team director. I’m still connected to the dance world and enjoy facilitating mental wellness and leadership workshops for dancers. Dance continues to be an important part of my life, and I love exploring how movement, mindfulness, and the mind-body connection can support our well-being.
At home, I have two sweet fur babies with very different personalities. Jax is my squirrel hunter and loves being outside, while Nala is my princess who hates getting wet and will steal your pillow without a hint of remorse.
When I’m not working, you might find me dreaming about my next travel adventure!
