Sarah Eck
Master's Level Intern
Sarah Eck is currently a master’s-level counseling intern completing her graduate degree in counseling at Southern Methodist University. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Journalism from the University of Missouri. Sarah’s counseling skills are complemented by more than 20 years of experience in marketing, where she focused on human buying behavior—what motivates us, what we need, and how we make decisions. Her counseling work is also informed by her lived experience with infertility, parenting twins conceived through assisted reproductive technology, and her journey as a breast cancer survivor.
Sarah believes that life’s most difficult challenges affect not only individuals, but also relationships and families as a whole. In session, her goal is to help clients and their loved ones move from feeling stuck and disconnected during hard seasons to experiencing genuine understanding, stronger bonds, and renewed hope for the path ahead. Sarah specializes in supporting overwhelmed couples, families, and adults as they work through challenges related to illness, infertility, menopause, and other major life stressors. Her work helps clients develop deeper understanding of one another while building the communication and coping skills needed to navigate difficult times. Additional areas of emphasis include grief, anxiety, caregiver support, sex and intimacy, and life transitions.
Sarah’s approach to counseling is collaborative, thoughtful, relationship-focused, and tailored to each client’s unique situation. She is committed to fostering mutual understanding, building resilience, developing practical coping skills for daily life, opening new and authentic ways of communicating, and helping clients create the closeness and connection they have been missing.
