Sara Irwin , LCPC, LPC

Sara Irwin is a licensed mental health and addiction therapist based in Nebraska with 14 years of clinical experience. She holds LCPC and LPC credentials - professional licenses to practice counseling - and completed a Master of Arts in Community Counseling from Creighton University in 2008. In addition, she is trained as a certified Clinical Trauma Professional, reflecting additional preparation to work with trauma-related concerns.

Sara has worked with people of all ages in both clinic settings and private practice, addressing a wide range of concerns including substance use and addictions, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, parenting challenges, stress and poor impulse control. Her broader areas of focus also include issues such as ADHD, body image, codependency, attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiving stress, and other life transitions and mood problems.

Her therapeutic approach is warm and grounded in active listening and collaborative problem solving. She draws from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and rational-emotive traditions while integrating practical tools that fit each person’s goals. That blend supports people working toward improved coping, healthier relationships, and clearer direction in life.

Outside of clinical work, Sara balances family life with two young children and enjoys running, traveling, reading, and spending time outdoors. She aims to help people get unstuck and move toward meaningful change in their lives.
