Sarah Schlessman is the owner of Beautiful Minds Counseling and Wellness. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Louisiana Tech University. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (#6416) in the state of Louisiana.
Sarah has spent her entire professional career working with children, adolescents, young adults, and their support systems. Sarah previously provided services in home and school settings, but decided that she wanted to create a space where people were able to come and find comfort, outside of their normal day-to-day settings. That is how Beautiful Minds was created.
In her free time, Sarah enjoys spending time with her family, being outside, traveling, eating, laughing, visiting with friends, and volunteering. Sarah is a Court Appointed Special Advocate. She speaks up on children's behalf and helps them through what is often a confusing and scary time. She is passionate about working with others to provide them support, stability, and understanding, while helping them to find their purpose. She also serves on the Board of Directors for the Boys and Girls Club.
Sarah is trained in EMDR and Emotionally Focused Therapy. She believes that all behavior makes sense in context and that every individual has the potential to create change when provided with the right tools. Sarah strives to ensure that any person who feels misunderstood or “different” finds safety and healing at Beautiful Minds Counseling and Wellness.
