Sarah Jurrens (She/Her)

EMDR

Sarah Jurrens, LPC, LMHC, has completed both Phase I and Phase II of EMDR training and completed all consultation requirements. She loves incorporating EMDR into therapy or short solution-focused EMDR therapy for single-event traumas or more in-depth, lengthier solutions for more complex cases. She is also trained in the Flash Technique to assist in desensitizing to disturbing memories.

ADHD

Sarah Jurrens, Owner, M.Edu, LPC, LMHC, specializes in identifying ADHD in women and gender‑diverse adults whose symptoms were minimized, misread, or masked for years. Comprehensive ADHD assessments integrate lived experience, trauma history, and neurodivergent‑affirming frameworks to distinguish ADHD from anxiety, trauma responses, and chronic overwhelm. Her goal is to offer clarity, validation, and a roadmap that finally makes sense.

OCD

At Rebellious W.E. Therapy, we provide services by a trained clinician who recognizes both classic and lesser‑known OCD presentations, including Relationship OCD (ROCD), Retroactive Jealousy (RJ), and Purely Obsessive OCD (aka Pure O). Our assessments help clients understand the difference between OCD, anxiety, and trauma‑driven rumination. We provide a shame‑free, highly attuned evaluation process that honors the nuance of OCD in adults who were never screened or never screened properly.

PTSD

At Rebellious, expertise includes identifying PTSD in clients who have survived chronic stress, relational trauma, or systemic harm by using trauma‑informed, culturally responsive assessment tools that capture both acute and complex trauma patterns. Trauma work centers on helping clients understand how their nervous system adapted for survival — and how healing becomes possible.

Cultural and Systemic Oppression

Every assessment is approached through a lens that acknowledges racism, sexism, ableism, queerphobia, and other forms of systemic oppression. Creating an understanding of how these forces shape symptoms, coping strategies, and access to care. My evaluations intentionally separate pathology from survival, ensuring clients are not misdiagnosed for responses to oppression.

Anxiety

We spend time differentiating anxiety from ADHD, OCD, and trauma‑based hypervigilance, as well as understanding that it is often a symptom of these potential disorders. The assessment process explores the roots of worry, overwhelm, and somatic tension with nuance and compassion. Helping clients understand whether their anxiety is a standalone condition, a trauma response, or a secondary effect of living in a world that has not supported their neurotype.
