About
As an Art Therapist by training, I provide talk therapy in conjunction with creative process techniques.
Sarah Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor and an Art Therapist with 10 years of experience in individual therapy and child and family consultation work. She is passionate about combining art therapy and play techniques in her practice to help clients with adjustment issues, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship issues, and major life transitions. During the pandemic, she opened her practice to more adult-focused work, performing telehealth sessions and leading group art therapy for cancer survivors. Sarah completed her Master of Science in Counseling and Art Therapy from Mount Mary University.
Sarah’s framework comes from a community art therapy model and her clinical training hours consisted of working with children and adults who have disabilities and/or who are neurodiverse. Sarah utilizes multiple treatment approaches including mindfulness, person-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed treatment.
Life brings many challenges. Sarah wants to support you through these challenges, helping to inspire your inner artist and healer. You do not need any art experience to seek therapy from Sarah, and if you prefer talk therapy, that is fine too. Sarah believes you are the expert in your life experiences—Sarah is a guide to help you through this tough time.

Life coaching is a personalized support system that helps individuals clarify goals, develop action plans, and navigate challenges. Coaches employ effective communication and active listening to assist clients in overcoming obstacles, unlocking their potential, and achieving personal growth for a more fulfilling life.
In life coaching, our coaches utilize diverse therapeutic techniques that are tailored to individuals, including cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, mindfulness, and positive psychology approaches. They also utilize active listening and empathetic communication to provide a supportive space for you to explore and achieve personal goals and overcome challenges, fostering personal growth and clarity.
Life coaching with our therapists in Washington, DC is conducted both in person and virtually via online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of life coaching sessions someone attends can differ based on the coach and the client’s choices. How many sessions are needed and how often they occur often hinges on the client’s objectives and the complexity of their concerns. Some clients might opt for a few sessions to tackle particular goals or issues, while others may decide on ongoing coaching sessions to work on personal growth and life enhancement over a more extended period of time. Thriveworks Washington therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.
Many people are going through life changes or challenges that they don’t know how to tackle alone. Maybe you want to start something new or are struggling to manage your priorities. Whatever your situation may be, a life coach could help you stay on track and walk you through the different options you are weighing. Making tough choices is already hard enough! At Thriveworks Washington, D.C. Counseling in Georgetown, we have a team of life coaches who can provide you with the guidance and support you have been looking for. They know the process of growth and change and can help you reach your goals. If you are ready to start working on your personal life, work-life, or both, call (202) 221-8410 to get set up with a life coach.
Putting together an inspiration board or writing down a list of goals you have is great, but without a plan of action, it is nearly impossible to achieve these things. Skilled, experienced life coaches understand the importance of setting and achieving your aspirations in life. Maybe you want to work with a life coach because:
Many people struggle with finding clarity in their visions. Whereas counseling helps you move on from pain and heal, life coaching helps you start making positive changes in your life and helping you heal from past trauma that is holding you back. When you begin life coaching, you will measure different areas of your life based on a scale of 1 to 10. The categories you may rate are:
Maybe in your physical environment, you are a 10 but your personal growth is a 3, and as much as you have tried to make your career a 10, it has never felt higher than a 6. Your life coach will be able to take the scores you rate the different areas of your life and help you create a plan of action to make those positive changes. We can’t function at a 10 in all categories at the same time, all of the time. Your life coach will also teach you the importance of not beating yourself up if you feel like some areas have fallen. Instead, you will be equipped with the skills needed to turn around those lower areas and enact change.
After learning more about life coaching, was there an area of your life that stood out? Did a goal or a dream pop into your head? If you have been thinking about seeking the help of a life coach, you are in the right place. We understand you may have a really busy schedule but the benefits of working with us at Thriveworks will be worth it.
It can be frustrating when you want to work with a counselor as soon as possible but it takes at least a week for you to get your first or next appointment. Fortunately for you, we do not operate with a waiting list. For most new clients, we have appointments available within the same week. We also have extended hours and can work around your busy schedule.
Put aside all of your reasons not to call. Stop hindering yourself from living the life you want. We would love to help you on your journey to better living. Call us today (202) 221-8410.
