Top therapists in Jacksonville, FL accepting new patients
Hi, I'm Sara Buchanan, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida, and the owner of SSB Counseling Services, based in Jacksonville, Florida. I earned my Master of Science degree in 2023 at the University of North Florida in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program. I received Dialectical Behavioral Therapy informed training during her practicum and internship. I also specialize in treating eating disorders and body image concerns.
Clients often describe me as someone who is "easy to talk to", has a great sense of humor, and is down to earth. After 26 years as a full time therapist, I bring a blend of compassion, experience, and wisdom. I welcome the opportunity to meet and hear your story.
Recently I also published a best selling book, Self-Love Workbook For Women: Release Self-Doubt, Build Self-Compassion, and Embrace Who You Are. (2020) and Be Kind to Yourself: A 52-Week Workbook to Nurture Your Beautiful Self Through the Good Times, the Messy Times, and All the Seasons in Between (2022).
My interest in counseling grew from my own work recovering from childhood trauma, PTSD, and anxiety. I focus on mindfulness based counseling. Therapy can help you achieve a more fulfilling life and relationships. Therapy is a unique relationship, where you as a client can be completely open and honest. The most important factor in the success of therapy is your connection and relationship with your therapist.
