Sarah-Brooke Stiles, LCSW
A little about me: I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who, come to find out, originally got into this field largely to figure myself out. If you’ve never heard that from a therapist before, it’s actually a pretty common thread among us, we often subconsciously step into healing others as a way to find healing within ourselves.
About 22 years ago, I was diagnosed with Complex PTSD, and roughly 15 years ago, I received an OCD diagnosis. Having these two conditions overlap made things incredibly challenging throughout much of my life and if I’m being completely honest, navigating that balance can still have its moments today. But there’s something powerful about a wounded healer: we tend to want more for ourselves and for the people we serve than just standard, status-quo talk therapy. We dig deeper because we need real answers on a personal level, and once we find what works, we want to share it with the world.
Send Me A Message
While I still experience symptoms today, they no longer run my life, define who I am, or dictate my choices. Every day, I get to live in a much more expansive, free way. Having these two conditions inspired me to develop two modalities over the last six years: the PAVEN method, which has been remarkably effective for working through OCD, and The Inner Room method, which draws on your own subconscious wisdom to help heal PTSD and a wide range of other challenges.
Ultimately, this is why I love what I do. Every single day, I have the profound privilege of offering hope and a way forward to someone sitting in front of me who feels trapped in an endless loop. I know how heavy and dark those moments can be because I’ve been there. Being able to walk alongside others and bring light back into those spaces is the greatest honor.
