Sarah Proemsey

A Passionate, Academic Start

Sarah Proemsey, Clinical Director at Love Your Story Therapy, began her journey with a strong academic foundation and a deep sense of calling. Her passion for understanding people and walking alongside them through life’s challenges has always been grounded in her Christian faith.

Sarah believes her education was not just a personal achievement, but a God-given path. She earned her Master of Science in Counselor Education with a heart to serve and a desire to bring both professional excellence and spiritual care to those who are hurting. Her studies equipped her with the clinical tools to serve her clients, while her faith gave her the deeper “why”—to reflect the love of Christ through compassion, wisdom, and grace.

Outside the classroom, Sarah finds joy in the simple and sacred. She enjoys time in nature, creating space for prayer and renewal. She treasures quiet evenings with her family, cuddling her beloved dog, or getting lost in a good book. These daily rhythms help her stay centered in her faith and ready to show up wholeheartedly for her clients.

A Heart for Service: Professional Experience and Community Ministry

Sarah’s career spans more than two decades, marked by a faithful commitment to her calling. She began in various church staff roles, where she supported individuals and families through ministry care, spiritual guidance, and practical support. Her experience in ministry shaped her heart for integrated care—where emotional, mental, and spiritual health are all honored and nurtured.

Today, Sarah continues to serve her church community. She is an active volunteer at Refuge Church, where she regularly contributes to women's ministry, community outreach events, and mentorship programs. Whether leading a small group or organizing service projects, Sarah’s passion for walking alongside others—especially during times of struggle—continues to shine.

She’s also involved in broader community service, including mental health education initiatives, support groups, and local nonprofit collaborations. These experiences deepen her understanding of the diverse needs in her community and fuel her commitment to making therapeutic support accessible and compassionate.

Sarah's professional history is characterized by her commitment to providing empathetic and effective mental health support. She has worked with individuals, couples, families, churches, and communities, addressing a wide range of mental health issues. Regardless of the setting, Sarah's approach to therapy has always been guided by respect, understanding, and the ultimate goal of improving the mental health and wellbeing of her clients.

Faithful Leadership—On and Off the Clock

Licensed as a Professional Clinical Counselor in California, Sarah founded Love Your Story Therapy in 2023 in response to God’s nudging to create a space where faith and mental health could be integrated in a meaningful way. Since then, the center has grown into a flourishing practice with over 10 clinicians and the ability to serve clients online across the state.

In addition to direct therapy work, Sarah leads retreats, workshops, and seminars designed to bring mental health tools to churches and community groups. These events often blend psychology and biblical truths, offering a safe space for transformation and connection.
