Our Mission to SUPPORT YOU

Sarah Greenwood has a particular professional draw to those who experience emotions so fully that they are unsure of how to work with the power of such feeling.

Soulful, often traumatized and misunderstood individuals in our society tend to be untapped resources full of potential. They are many times the ones who BECOME PASSIONATE ABOUT RIGHTEOUS CHANGE, care beyond words about happenings and have relentless drive towards action, and WHEN TAUGHT HOW TO WORK WITH SUCH GIFTS in effective ways, they can make incredible contributions and are capable of immense joy.

Sarah contends that if we give up on these individuals as therapists, we have done our society a great disservice. Sarah’s work IS ADVOCACY for those who are often shunned, outcasted, discriminated against and UNSEEN FOR WHO THEY TRULY ARE by familial or community systems, partially due to a SOCIETY that is STILL ATTEMPTING TO FUNCTION WITHOUT PROPER EDUCATION on the functional expression of and PURPOSE FOR EMOTIONS.

‘Dialectics’ in DBT have to do with opposite forces, and the goal in DBT (+ DBT Prolonged Exposure (PE) Protocol) is to find where opposites unite, to HELP REDUCE OUTER and INNER CONFLICTS that keep one from intra-personal and interpersonal UNION.

This is the same objective in yoga, ‘yoga’ meaning ‘union’ or ‘yoke’ in Sanskrit. DBT (+ DBT PE Protocol) and yoga therapeutics are both self-supporting lifestyles that involve self-study, BEHAVIOR CHANGE and healing, which is how Sarah came to fall in love with the DBT(+ DBT PE Protocol) & yoga therapeutics duo.

DBT (+ DBT PE Protocol) offers western psychological research and evidence-based eastern philosophical modalities to healing AND yoga therapeutics includes roots in physical therapy and ANCIENT PRACTICES OF INDIA WE HONOR shown to be helpful.

In Sarah’s life experience, she has witnessed that great suffering can be an opportunity gateway for TREMENDOUS TRANSFORMATION, RELIEF and even CONTENTMENT. This program, when approached with steady commitment, offers an UNWAVERING PURSUIT AHEAD.

DBT of Charleston Advocates for Inclusivity, Diversity Appreciation & Recovery~

Sarah has been working in the field of trauma recovery over 20 years, has extensive intensive training in intimacy practices from a yogic-tantrik perspective promoting self-love & self-compassion and holds a long-time certificate in rape survivor advocacy.

She stands for diversity inclusivity and awakening and advocates for the well-being and support of lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender (transmasculine/transfeminine/trans women/trans men), queer, non-binary, demisexual, intersex & allies + -all other orientations- (LGBTQNDI-A+) AND black, indigenous & all people of color (BIPOC) individuals and will accept nothing less than that approach on her therapeutic consultation team.  

Racial, gender and cultural socialized constructs continue to be imposed on us and she is interested in movement towards SYNTHESIZING BINARY CONSTRUCTS that IMPACT POWER STRUCTURES and equality of resource access.  Inclusivity goes BEYOND DIALECTICS, it is the pursuit of increased recognition and HARMONY through ongoing MINDFUL PROACTIVITY. 

Sarah LOVES sharing the EMPOWERMENT of RECOVERY PATHWAYS for people of all genders and colors through trauma recovery & inter-generational trauma recovery. 

She strives for activism for emotional-mental-physical-social-existential health for the restoration of increasing validation of personal & societal environments of communities so we have stronger people as a whole.

Sarah aims not to just help people recover, she strives for them to reach a state of LOVING their lives, a vitality-affirming thriving she strongly feels we are innately born to not just touch for fleeting moments, yet to come to fully know reverently as a WAY OF LIFE and inner wisdom.
