Sara Fortin, Llc

This therapist specializes in helping individuals and couples navigate relationship challenges, including communication difficulties, parenting differences, conflicting schedules, stress, and feelings of emotional disconnection. Their approach focuses on helping clients identify what they would like to change, better understand relationship patterns, and develop healthier ways of connecting with those who matter most.

In 2012, they completed extensive training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), with a particular focus on couples and strengthening emotional bonds. In 2020, they expanded their clinical training to include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based approach commonly used in trauma treatment. This training supports their work with clients seeking to process difficult past experiences and move toward greater emotional well-being.

Originally from Virginia Beach, they earned a Master of Science in Counseling–Marriage and Family Therapy from San Diego State University in 2008 before returning to Virginia to complete their residency. Their warm, collaborative style helps clients explore challenges, clarify their needs, and take meaningful steps toward healthier relationships and personal growth.
