About Zenful Connections
Tired, unmotivated, or overwhelmed by tasks that felt “easy” before? Or as if you can’t “get out of your own way?”
Keep thinking of, or re-living unpleasant life experiences?
Can’t get “unstuck” from your job, relationship, or lifestyle?
Difficulty setting and keeping boundaries?
“Small” things are feeling overwhelming like several noises at once, discomfort in your body, or brain fog.
Balancing work/school and social life seems impossible
Can’t get into a routine
Do you sometimes feel irritable, or that your mood is unpredictable?
Communication with others seems hard, or you feel misunderstood?
If you answered “YES” to any of these questions, you are in the right place!
Zenful Connections is dedicated to supporting women, college students, and teens through these difficult feelings and experiences, and you don’t have to go through it alone. And we go at YOUR comfort level.
I am so excited about additional holistic services to come, and share that when available!
We are so excited to grow and be present in our community!
Meet Sarah Emmons LMHC
Hi, I’m Sarah, licensed therapist with a passion for helping people feel more grounded, resiliant, and connected to themselves. I graduated from Northeastern University in Boston, MA in 2008, and have spent my carreer supporting individuals through anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm.
Early in my carreer, I worked in residential school environmnets for teens, locked juvenile facilities, as well as providing In Home Therapy for families with young children, and teens. During this time, I also worked a second job as a clinician for the local homeless shelter, providing support to families who had experienced domestic violence, and other difficult life transitions.
I am certified in Dialectival Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Trauma Informed Certified. My work emphasizes mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and practical skills that help clients build awareness, emotional balance, and a sense of safety within themselves. I also offer a faith based approach for those interested.
The population I specialize in includes working with adult women, college students, and teens, to create a supportive and colloborative space where clients can explore challenges, develop coping skills, and move towards meaningful change at their own pace.
Born and raised in Massachusetts, I previously owned and operated a private practice before relocating to Florida. I am excited to build my practice here in Florida, and continuing the work that I love while connecting with my community!
I am a private-pay provider. I want to have the flexibility of working with you without insurance dictating how often we can meet, the work done, etc. While I don't accept your insurance directly, your plan may have out-of-network (OON) benefits, which means your insurance will reimburse you for a large portion of our session cost. If you do have OON benefits, I have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you. They will take care of submitting and managing the claims for you, so you don't have to worry about submitting superbills. You can use the widget on this page to check whether you have OON benefits and your expected fee post deductible.
And of course if you have any questions on this, please reach out. Using this is totally optional and just a way to help you reduce cost!
Our Services
A 50 minute counseling session is a supportive, collaborative space focused on what feels important for you that day. Sessions typically include talk therapy, mindfulness (which is the practice of being present in the moment), coping skills building, and a mind body approach to support regulating emotions and healing. We work at your pace to build insight, and strengthen healing. Each session ends with a brief reflection, along with a self care action plan for the week.
A 90 minute therapy session is very similar to a standard 50 minute session which includes talk therapy, coping skills building, emotion regulation, and action planning. The 90 minute session, gives more time to dive deeper into more stressful, or circumstantial situations which may be occuring in your life at this point which require more detailed conversation, along with additional nervous system regulation, or safety planning. Please note this is not to replace a crisis evaluation which may require additional support or services.
This service is exactly the same as our Individual Therapy Service. However, I want to recognize the pressure, busy schedules, and difference in income that our college students experience. Due to this, I want to make services more attainable for students. If you are a FULL time, currently enrolled college student between the ages of 17-23, you can be seen at the discounted rate.
A 3 hour intensive session is an extended, more in depth session for quicker and more profound progress. This is suitable for tackling more complex issues such as trauma, healing from complex ptsd, or an urgent relationship crisis.
This will be a structured session with a more direct solution focus as an outcome, and is typically only 1-3 sessions depending on the client and needs.
