Sarah Frost, Ph.D.
I am a licensed psychologist who specializes in treating anxiety, depression, and self-exploration. I serve clients in-person in Durham and offer telehealth across the state of North Carolina.
I work with clients to increase their own self-awareness and understand patterns of behavior. My approach is called psychodynamic therapy, with a focus on discovering the cause of emotional suffering. As a therapist, I respond to each client based on their own unique needs and guide clients through the process of therapy. Therapy with me is a collaborative, open-minded process. Clients will strengthen their ability to engage in self-examination and explore how the past impacts their current life and leads to clarity about changes from them to make. I also integrate coping strategies to help clients manage current stress. I find that clients of all ages benefit from self-awareness and mindfulness to relax and focus.
Do you worry about the future? Do you have low self-esteem? Are you having trouble adjusting to a recent transition? I can work with you to help define your identity, build meaningful relationships, and reach goals. Together we can discover the root cause of the issue and then make changes to have a more intentional, healthy, and meaningful life.
What is psychodynamic therapy?
Psychodynamic therapy is “talk therapy.” The client discusses their thoughts, concerns, and celebrations in session. As the therapist, I ask questions to explore connections between the client’s past and their present suffering. Through the conversation and reflection, the client gains insight into their own choices and behaviors and makes decisions to create lasting change in their own lives. The benefits of psychodynamic therapy include increased self-esteem, improved mood, and feeling more in control of decisions in life. These changes have a long-lasting impact on clients.
