Pastoral Care at Old St. Pat's

Parish Counseling


Picture
Sarah Thompson, Parish Counselor
​Integrating client values and spiritual beliefs into the counseling process, Sarah works with individuals and couples as they seek to understand and grow through various challenges life brings. Sarah’s therapeutic process is rooted in the values of openness, acceptance, and collaboration. She believes that accessing what genuinely exists inside ourselves helps us to know who we really are. She draws from various therapeutic approaches, focusing on the mind-body-spirit connection, to illuminate underlying issues, free up blocks, and heal old wounds. Sarah began her professional life in the corporate world and has an MBA from Northwestern Kellogg School of Management. She transitioned to entrepreneurial and non-profit work before starting her journey to become a therapist. 
Sarah is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, with a Masters in Counseling Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. She began practicing in 2015 and, along with years of work/life experience, has additional training in grief, trauma, Gottman couples counseling, is a certified Prepare-Enrich relationship facilitator, and an Illinois certified domestic abuse advocate. Sarah and her husband have been married for 35+ years and have four children. Her enjoyment as a recreational triathlete and endurance sports participant has drawn her focus towards the biopsychosocial approach to one’s overall health and wellbeing.
People seek counseling for a variety of reasons, including…
  • anxiety and/or depression
  • premarital counseling
  • difficulties in relationships
  • recent or unexpected life changes
  • feelings of loss, sadness, or grief
  • feelings of isolation, emptiness or meaninglessness
  • difficulties in achieving goals
  • LGBTQ+ affirmative counseling​
​
If you think you could benefit from Sarah’s services please contact her at 773-234-9630 or at saraht@oldstpats.org to set up an appointment. She offers in person counseling at 711 W. Monroe as well as virtually and hybrid. Sarah accepts most Blue Cross/Blue Shield PPO insurance plans.
