  • “Sara at Soothing Connections Counseling is the best! Imagine feeling truly understood and heard...maybe for the first time even. What if you could connect with your partner on a deeper level with a little help and understanding? Sara is an amazing person, and I would recommend her to my closest friends and family.”

  • "I have known Sara for seven years and have seen her direct impact on people’s lives through her personal life and accomplished professional practice. Sara is passionate about helping others grow and has a positive perspective on life and solutions to move others forward. She’s a great listener and ask amazing heart felt questions, Sara can be direct and challenging and of course in her profession, that’s a good quality to have in a therapist. As a care pastor of a large church in the Du-Page area, I would send everyone I could to her that come to me for help. I connect weekly with dozens of clinicians that are gifted and consider Sara as one of the best that I know. She is a special person to me and I highly regard her abilities as a therapist and I am so proud of her in creating her own practice Soothing Connections."
