Sarah Kelton (she/her/hers) is a Licensed Professional Counseling Associate (LPC-A) supervised by Jaclyn N. Sepp, MA, LPC-S, RPT-S™, NCC, RYT®200 and Sheila Wessels, MEd, LPC-S, RPT-S™. Sarah earned her bachelors degree in Applied Learning and Development and her master's degree in Counselor Education from the University of Texas at Austin. Sarah is currently working towards her Registered Play Therapist (RPT) credential.
Sarah has worked in public education for the past six years, and has been a school counselor for two years. She was a recipient of the CREST award (Counselors Reinforcing Excellence in Texas) presented by the Texas School Counseling Association and was a nominee for school counselor of the year in Austin ISD. She was the gifted and talented coordinator, social emotional learning facilitator, and parent support specialist. Sarah is a Neurosequential Model of Education (NME) Facilitator who regularly implements trauma informed practices and Trust Based Relational Interventions (TBRI) in order to provide a trauma informed approach for her clients.
Sarah believes that children have an innate ability to grow and mature on their own and that the best way to understand a child's behavior is by understanding the child first. Sarah utilizes many modalities including play therapy techniques, bibliotherapy, sand-tray therapy, and solution focused therapy to meet the child at a developmentally appropriate level. Sarah is an original Austinite and loves photography, rock climbing, and hiking with her husband and dog.
