Welcome — I'm Glad You're Here
My name is Sara Trought, and I'm a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) in full standing with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). With over 20 years of clinical experience and academic training in both psychology and counselling psychology, I bring a depth of knowledge, professional skill, and genuine human warmth to every therapeutic relationship.
If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like something just isn't working in your life, you've come to the right place.
My Background and Qualifications
My clinical training spans a wide range of human experiences — including anxiety, depression, chronic pain, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and neurodiversity. This breadth means I'm equipped to meet you wherever you are, with the competence and insight to help you move forward.
I specialize in Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — two of the most rigorously researched, evidence-based approaches in the field. These aren't just theoretical frameworks; they are practical, proven tools that help real people create real change.
What Working Together Looks Like
Therapy with me is a collaborative process — not something I do to you, but something we build together. From our very first session, we'll work to understand what's bringing you in, what matters most to you, and what meaningful progress looks like in your life.
Sessions are structured yet flexible. I often incorporate guided exercises and between-session reflections to help reinforce what we explore together, because growth happens both inside and outside the therapy room. Over time, my goal is for you to feel increasingly confident and capable — less reliant on therapy, and more trusting of yourself.
The Benefits You Can Expect
Clients who work with me often describe feeling genuinely heard — sometimes for the first time. They gain clarity about patterns that have been holding them back, develop practical coping strategies they can use immediately, and build the kind of resilience that lasts long after our work together ends.
You deserve support that's both professionally sound and deeply human. I offer both.
Taking the First Step
Reaching out for help is not a sign of weakness — it's one of the most courageous things a person can do. Whether you're navigating a specific challenge or simply ready to invest in yourself, I'm here.
I'd love to connect and explore whether we're a good fit. You don't have to figure this out alone.
