Sarah Fox, MFA, MA, LPCC
Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor
Sarah Fox applies a harm-reductionist, trauma-informed lens to a healing-centric worldview. Her integrative approach is inspired by psychodynamic, relational, transpersonal, feminist, somatic, and mindfulness traditions along with her lifelong artistic practice as a poet, multimedia artist, and educator. For over 30 years, Sarah has studied and appreciated non-ordinary states of consciousness and the transformational applications of entheogenic medicines across cultures, which has nourished her creative practice as well as her system of belief around individual, interpersonal, and collective healing.
Sarah has a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology and a Master of Fine Arts in Poetry. She is licensed to provide individual and group therapy in Minnesota and Wisconsin and offers clinical supervision in the state of MN. She is a trained labor and delivery doula, has worked with herbal medicines, taught undergraduate English and Creative Writing, and has facilitated creative process workshops and healing support groups with sexual and domestic abuse survivors, pregnant and parent teens, unhoused families, immigrant and refugee communities, and as an artist-in-residence in schools and community centers throughout Minnesota. She has done ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) training with Polaris Institute and Intero Psychedelic Therapy; took part in The River Course with Dr. Joe Tafur, an 8-week program focusing on ayahuasca and models of spiritual healing in healthcare; and has also completed the MAPS MDMA-assisted Psychotherapy training. She has done additional trainings in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy. Sarah has been engaged in her own healing process for decades through ongoing personal psychotherapy, medicine work, somatic-based modalities, intuitive development mentorship and energy work, and her lifelong meditation and yoga practice. Sarah is a white, cisbodied woman and acknowledges her accountability in dismantling her embodied biases and enacting social change and collective liberation.
Sarah’s practice has focused on developmental and complex trauma; relational, sexual, and betrayal trauma; attachment injuries; parenting and reproductive psychology; somatic concerns; creative process issues; as well as gender, socioeconomic, and race-based trauma. She has worked with and welcomes people who identify as trans, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming, LGBTQ2IA+, and other marginalized communities, as well as people striving to deconstruct their cultural and racial biases in a co-healing space. Sarah endeavors to empower her clients with deeper self-knowledge, mindfulness techniques, effective boundaries, holistic integration, and acceptance. She collaborates with her clients in creating a secure and compassionate space for emotional pain to be explored, shame deconstructed, somatic connections tracked with more consciousness, internal frameworks revised and reinforced, and intuitive resources strengthened and uplifted.
