A Different Approach to Therapy
Psychotherapy. Coaching. CBT. Somatic Healing.
Healing Beyond Recovery
Are you ready to move beyond survival and embrace a life of emotional freedom, authenticity and genuine connection?
Welcome—​I'm Sara Luisa, and
You Deserve More Than Just Coping!
​
You’ve done the hard part—survived, pushed through, maybe even built a life that looks good on the outside. But inside, something still feels stuck.
​
Maybe you’re in long-term recovery and wondering why old patterns of self-doubt, shame, or disconnection still show up. Or perhaps you find yourself trapped in cycles of overworking, perfectionism, emotional eating, codependency, or unhealthy relationships—wondering why no matter how much you try to fix it, the same struggles return.
I see you. And I want you to know: you’re not broken—your nervous system has simply adapted to survival. But healing isn’t just about surviving—it’s about reclaiming your life, your emotions, and your sense of self.

What Clients Say...
​"I am incredibly grateful to have found Sara as my therapist. While I’ve had intensive therapy in the past, I had hit a wall and needed a new approach. Working with Sara has continually helped me grow into the person I aspire to be.​With her guidance, I’ve successfully navigated challenges stemming from a highly dysfunctional family background, traumatic life events, sexual abuse, the effects of both process and substance addictions, and unresolved childhood experiences that persisted into adulthood. Thanks to her support, I’ve reached a place where these issues no longer hold me back.​​ Sara has an in depth understanding and education on the process of long-term recovery and navigating adulthood with therapy as a firm tool to help heal people. I fully and wholly recommended her as a therapist, whether in person or online. She is invaluable to all those she works with!''​

''I had been feeling really stuck and frustrated with my recovery, and plagued by anxiety and intrusive thoughts, until a colleague recommended Sara at Papillon Psychotherapy. Since working together, I feel like I've made huge strides in my personal development, career and in my relationships. Sara is so easy to talk to. She has helped me gain so much clarity, freedom and peace from trauma I've experienced as a result of my past addictions, as well as from my childhood. Even though challenging emotions and feelings come up in sessions, I always look forward to sessions with Sara as she helps me handle them expertly. I get so much out of them and I feel so much more empowered as she helps me connect the dots so I can understand, process, and heal from my limiting beliefs. She's a real gem of a therapist.''​

"Although I've worked with other therapists before, the safe space Sara facilitates has enabled me to venture into more depth and navigate through discomfort. After only a few weeks, there was a dramatic shift in my confidence and ability to use my voice to articulate my needs. I feel empowered to drive my life forward because Sara has helped me uncover my intuition."
