Services I provide:
Sarah believes that healing is not just about talking through struggles but also about rediscovering joy, self-compassion, and resilience. For younger clients, Play Therapy provides a developmentally appropriate way to express emotions and process experiences. For teens and adults, therapy is an opportunity to untangle past experiences, gain insight, and build the confidence to navigate life’s challenges.

Hi, I’m Sarah Contreras, LPC, RPT, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist at Roots Psychotherapy in College Station, TX.

I provide compassionate, culturally responsive therapy for children, adolescents, and adults. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem struggles, or life transitions, I’m here to create a space where healing, resilience, and personal growth can flourish.

Your Therapy Experience

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I believe therapy should be a safe, collaborative space where you feel supported and empowered to explore your experiences and emotions without fear of judgment.

Rather than providing one-size-fits-all solutions, I help you uncover your strengths and inner resilience. Whether you’re seeking tools to manage stress, process past trauma, or support your child through play therapy, I tailor each session to your individual needs, offering guidance and support every step of the way.

Specialties & Approach

My therapeutic style is client-centered and integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and Play Therapy for younger clients. I believe that healing happens through self-awareness, meaningful connection, and exploring how past experiences shape the present.

About Me

I feel safest trying new activities when I’m surrounded by people I love—whether it’s playing tennis (one of my favorite pastimes) or cheering on my favorite women’s gymnastics team. I’m Team Edward all the way, a self-proclaimed pickle enthusiast, and I could happily eat sandwiches for the rest of my life. When I’m not diving into the fascinating lives of royals from the past or avoiding the daily struggle of doing my hair, you’ll find me indulging in my go-to foodie favorites: a chicken bacon ranch sandwich on rosemary parm bread from Jersey Mike’s, honey walnut shrimp from Chef Cao’s, breakfast tacos from Yole’s La Familia Taqueria, and tacos de asada y pastor from La Perla Tapatia Meat Market. Oh, and whoop! Fightin’ Texas Aggie Class of ’18! My favorite quote is:

"You are valuable just because you exist. Not because of what you do or what you have done, but simply because you are.” - Max Lucado
