Meet your Therapist!

Hi, I’m Sarah Trevitt

Nice to (virtually) meet you!

I am a Registered Social Worker (a.k.a. RSW) under the British Columbia College of Social Workers (BCCSW) and the Alberta College of Social Workers (ACSW). I did my Bachelor of Social work at McMaster University, then moved to Kelowna to do my Master of Social Work at The University of British Columbia Okanagan. I quickly fell in love with Kelowna as soon as I arrived, and made the easy decision to grow my counselling career here after I graduated.

I have experience working in a shelter for women and children leaving abusive relationships, supporting clients through crisis, safety planning, and the process of rebuilding their lives. This work has deeply shaped my approach to therapy.

I also have experience supporting individuals ages 4+ who have experienced sexual abuse and/or assault. I understand how trauma can impact people across all stages of life, and I strive to create a space where healing can happen at a pace that feels safe and manageable.

Alongside trauma work, I support clients navigating anxiety, OCD, and relationship challenges. Together, we can explore unhelpful patterns, build coping strategies, and strengthen your sense of safety, stability, and self-understanding.

My approach is gentle, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practice. I believe healing happens through connection, and I’m here to support you as you move toward greater clarity, resilience, and well-being. When appropriate, I bring humour into our sessions to lighten the weight of the world and create safety in the space.

Book with me!

Do you have an avoidant-attachment style? These are generalizations of how someone with an avoidant-attachment style MAY act or think - this is not a formal test or the be-all-end-all of avoidant attachment.

I love when anger shows up in therapy because it’s often hidden under the surface, and there can be so much shame about the feeling. I will add a very important asterisks **** to anger in session: the moment it becomes unsafe for either of us,

Setting boundaries can be difficult! But this tool can help you understand what a boundary can sound like (of course, they don’t always sound the same). Whether you’re stuck in a cycle of people-pleasing, feeling under-valued in a relatio

When I'm not in the therapy chair, I enjoy chatting with loved ones with an iced-chai in hand. In the winter months, I'm an avid snowboarder at Big White.

In the summers, my partner and I love to adventure onto the back roads up to the mountains.
