Meet Sarah Carballo, T-LMHC

It’s not uncommon to go through seasons of life that feel overwhelming, discouraging, or stuck—times when hope feels out of reach. As a therapist in Ankeny, Iowa, my role is to walk alongside you and hold that hope until you’re ready to carry it yourself. My goal is to offer genuine support, encouragement, and guidance so you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone.

I strive to create a safe, welcoming counseling space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported. In therapy, you’ll be encouraged to show up as your authentic self while we work together to recognize your strengths, clarify your goals, and explore new ways to overcome obstacles. I aim to reflect your potential back to you with compassion and honesty, helping you discover fresh perspectives and meaningful growth.

I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University and provide individual therapy for teens and adults. My integrative approach draws from EMDR, CBT, DBT, ACT, and Person-Centered Therapy, ensuring sessions are tailored to your unique needs. I have experience helping clients work through depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, and relationship or family issues.

If you’re ready to take the next step toward healing and growth, I would be honored to support you on your journey. Reaching out for counseling is a brave choice—and you don’t have to do it alone.
