Meet Sabrina Bolin

As a late-diagnosed neurodivergent woman whose ADHD diagnosis was masked under a lifetime of perfectionism and people-pleasing, I am intimately aware of how overwhelming and devastating it can feel when you realize you can't fit the mold society wants you to squeeze into. The anxiety that arises between trying to meet others' expectations and being true to your own desires can feel debilitating and keep you stuck when it comes to making attuned decisions in your life and relationships. 

I work from an Internal Family Systems model, an experiential and process-oriented approach that provides a pathway out of these stuck feelings and toward a more profound sense of self-trust. My background in somatic work as a clinical hypnotherapist will help you reconnect your mind with your body so you can experience a more regulated nervous system. Clients have described work with me as incredibly comforting, collaborative, and insightful.

I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist #144696, supervised by Sharon Yu, LMFT 50028. My work is informed by trauma and attachment-focused modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO).

My clients navigate diverse identities, from multiracial backgrounds to intercultural marriages to neurodiverse families.

They come as individuals, intimate partners, and families seeking support in significant life transitions that impact their sense of self when their roles drastically change, such as when they discover their own neurodivergence, become new parents, or step in as caregivers to their aging parents. Regardless of the circumstance, they yearn to navigate these shifts with less struggle and more grace.

I work best with clients who care about the relationships they have with themselves just as much as the relationships they have with others. Whether raising a child to honor their own unique self or negotiating the complexities and disconnection they feel from their life partner after life changes, they're sensitive to what they're holding from their past and realize that part of working through current challenges requires that they gently approach past pains and traumas. 

My clients share that they want to:

  • Deeply understand themselves and their generational patterns so that they can make more affirming choices for themselves and for future generations

  • Learn to communicate and connect within their relationships in a way that both honors their own values and meets the dynamic needs of these relationships

  • Navigate changing roles within their intimate relationships so that they can rebuild the connection they might have lost after experiencing big life transitions

 

Through our work together, my clients are often empowered by the embodied understanding that the evolution of a relationship, whether due to external life circumstances, shifting priorities, or life milestones, is an invitation to redefine connection, intimacy, and meaning. As a humanistic therapist, I believe all my clients have an inherent capacity for self-trust, self-direction, and personal growth, and I am honored to join alongside them in the process.

Special welcome to overwhelmed empaths, neurodivergent folks, and creative types.
