Sarah mEars-Ivy, M.S., L.P.C.

Growing up in a small Western Oklahoma town shaped my appreciation for resourcefulness, genuine connection, pragmatism, and resilience. I enjoy slow mornings, observing nature and wildlife, chaos gardening, sharing time with my family, singing with abandon, cozy gaming, and reading.

My passion is helping others live life more meaningfully and comfortably while offering support and empowerment through affirmation, advocacy, education, self‑exploration, and skill development.

I work with adults navigating stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, gender‑related concerns, health and aging issues, disenfranchisement, anger, and recovery maintenance. I frequently treat anxiety, depression, post‑traumatic stress, and grief. My clinical background includes experience in residential and outpatient treatment, medication‑assisted treatment programs, partial hospitalization, and specialty court settings.

I use evidence‑based approaches—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution‑Focused strategies, and Harm Reduction—to help clients build practical skills and create meaningful change. I am a CRAFT‑informed provider and a SMART Recovery Volunteer Facilitator.

Clients and colleagues describe me as thorough, insightful, logical, and pragmatic. In sessions, I strive to create an experience that is ethical, respectful, understanding, open‑minded, empathetic, and collaborative.
