Biography
Sarah Simpson has worked in the health care industry since 1996. Upon completion of her Masters Degree, she completed an internship in Biofeedback therapy. During this internship she saw a variety of patients and symptoms (anxiety, depression, chronic pain, incontinence). Sarah spent time working with a mentor, and another two years completing certification coursework. Sarah is also a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist.
Sarah’s clinical practice focuses on collaborative care with the patient. She believes her role is to act as a guide and coach in helping the patient learn about their body and mind. The patient’s increased awareness and commitment to practice leads not only to symptom improvement but generalization into everyday life. She has a special passion for couples with intimacy and relationship issues, patients with cancer or chronic health and aging concerns.
Sarah begins every course of therapy with a patient consult. The patient sits down face-to-face with her to receive education and discuss program goals, expectations, and what the patient hopes to achieve from therapy. Sarah works with children, women and men, who are experiencing incontinence, sexual concerns, relationship issues, and a variety of voiding dysfunction complaints. In addition she also helps with Interstim programming, post-ops and education.
