Sarah's Story
With extensive experience in both clinical mental health and business operations, Sarah Kemp, LPC, brings a rare combination of therapeutic depth, strategic thinking, and fierce compassion to her role as Co-Founder of All Points North Counseling Services. She specializes in working with high-achieving adults, professionals, and executives facing anxiety, depression, chronic stress, complex trauma, chronic pain, and high-pressure career or leadership demands.
Sarah’s therapeutic approach is direct, insightful, and deeply relational. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients shift thought and behavior patterns, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to enhance emotion regulation, self-awareness, and interpersonal effectiveness. Her work also features Socratic questioning—the use of targeted, curious, and clarifying dialogue to build insight—as well as thoughtful confrontation, helping clients recognize and transform patterns with clarity, warmth, and humor.
She is especially attuned to the hidden effects of unresolved trauma and how it shapes decision-making, relationships, and leadership style. Sarah supports clients in building clarity, emotional resilience, and stronger alignment between their internal experiences and external lives—empowering long-term growth, not just short-term symptom relief.
Sarah is currently pursuing a PhD in Psychology, with research focused on early intervention in mood and personality disorders—reinforcing her commitment to proactive, evidence-based, and developmentally attuned care. Her academic work deepens her clinical insight into complex cases and informs her precision-oriented approach.
With a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a background in psychology, Sarah brings both scientific rigor and authentic human connection to every session. Whether she’s providing individual therapy, mentoring clinicians, or guiding strategic initiatives at APNC, she leads with vision, integrity, and a strong belief in meaningful, lasting change.
