Hi, I’m Savannah O’Toole, a licensed professional counselor, completing my Masters of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University in 2022 and clinical mental health fellow at Ever Forward Counseling x Neurofeedback. I believe that it is imperative to process through the emotions and thoughts we experience in an environment where we feel safe to express ourselves exactly as we are. Guests who have a desire to intentionally look within themselves to gain insight into who they are, areas that need growth, and areas of healing that lead to more confidence in walking through life are those I enjoy working with. It is crucial that I try my best to cultivate that safe and supportive space for guests to heal and discover themselves.

I have experience working with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress disorders, life transitions, spiritual/religious challenges, and trauma. Additional areas of training include grief, boundary settings, attachment, self-esteem, self-worth, the LGBTQ+ community, relationship issues, and individuals with physical health issues such as autoimmune disease, women’s health issues, and mold illness. My approach is collaborative and integrative, utilizing various therapeutic practices to cultivate a strong therapeutic relationship that is built on trust, empathy, and respect. Every individual is unique, therefore, my goal is to make sure the therapeutic process honors your journey by fitting your needs with compassion and understanding.

Taking steps towards healing can be intimidating, but know that you are not alone on this journey. My hope is that I can empower you to thrive and live a purpose filled life by providing practical tools, guiding you towards insight, and support that can take you through life’s challenges with grace and resilience.

• Several years of experience working with teenagers in a variety of settings such as in counseling, school settings, mentoring, and group work. 

• Participation in a consultation group and supervision where I learn and grow as a counselor and how to better work with guests.

• Training in polyvagal theory that is used for trauma. 

• Spiritual/religious integration that includes incorporating Christian faith in counseling, trauma, spiritual identity, and disentanglement of beliefs.

• Experience integrating cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered, Adlerian, art and play therapy, as well as grounding/meditation exercises.

• Experience working with individuals who have difficulty regulating, processing, and feeling their emotions.

In my spare time I enjoy reading a fiction book that I can’t put down, spending quality time with my family and friends, going on long walks/being outside, and I love traveling and visiting new places.
