"It was truly a pleasure to work with Sarah Harris and Serenity and Grace Therapeutic Services. Her level of professionalism and understanding is unparalleled. She clearly has a passion for mentoring and encouraging students, interns, and therapeutic professionals. Her level of knowledge, insight, and experience is a gift which she willing shares with others. She provides a warm and inviting environment, and it was a joy to be a part of her work. She both challenges and supports you, offering guidance and professional insight. Her ability to work with a wide variety of presenting issues and clients is a testament to her abilities. She challenged my preconceive notions of telehealth, and has made me a believer. I am forever appreciative and grateful for the opportunities she had provided."

"I feel extremely fortunate to have been chosen by Sarah to be her intern. Sarah understands that developing an identity as a therapist is a personal journey for each intern, so her supervision is tailored to specific needs and goals of the intern. She allowed me an incredible amount of freedom to discover the therapeutic styles that fit with my identity and, at the same time, she provided me with just enough guidance to continue to grow. 

Sarah excels as a teacher and continuously provided opportunities for me to learn far beyond therapeutic techniques and clinical treatment. Sarah also welcomed any new information I brought to her. Whether it was intervention techniques, book/article recommendations, etc., Sarah genuinely enjoyed collaborating and made me feel like an important part of her practice. I feel very prepared to begin my career as a Marriage and Family Therapist after my internship here at Serenity and Grace."

"While my experience at Serenity and Grace was only once per week as a supplemental site, I received countless educational rewards. Sarah was a fountain of information, helping me adjust to working with an unfamiliar client population and the external systems they were connected to. Sarah taught me the importance of setting boundaries with clients while simultaneously showing compassion. Since her setting was more of a fast-paced environment, I learned the importance of time management by utilizing every minute, both during and in-between sessions, to get things done. She continuously provided constructive feedback with client documentation and introduced me to the experience of thorough client intake procedures. Sarah also challenged me to think about how even a clinician's comments and gestures may influence the client, helping me understand even the subtle ways that a clinician is responsible for the client's needs and well-being. 

Overall, I am very fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn and grow under Sarah's leadership."

"The opportunity to complete my clinical requirements at Serenity & Grace Therapeutic Services, under the supervision of Sarah Harris, LMFT, RPT was an invaluable experience. As a fieldwork site, this practice is thriving and offered no shortage of direct client hours, through co-therapy and by developing my own caseload. Serenity & Grace is a collaborative environment, with shared resources, staff meetings and opportunities to participate in several types of groups as a co-facilitator. Additionally, being a Registered Play Therapist, Sarah Harris was a highly professional and dedicated mentor as I developed therapeutic skills working with children and adolescents. The monthly bibliotherapy program that Ms. Harris employs, ‘Book of the Month’, helped expose me to resources directly related to my work with clients. Moreover, Ms. Harris was consistently available to support my growth as a future MFT, providing guidance on anything from ethical questions and engaging therapeutically with clients to the logistics of running a therapeutic practice. I would highly recommend the supervision services available at Serenity & Grace with Sarah Harris to any future professional.

"It was truly a pleasure to work under the guidance, support, leadership and supervision of Sarah Harris at Serenity & Grace Therapeutic Services. Mrs. Harris offers an environment where hands on learning is implemented and Mrs. Harris trust and respect the learning styles of her interns-in- training, she is there to lead and guide her interns in training, every step of the way throughout their internship process. 

Mrs. Harris offered several opportunities for interns to learn and grow as an inter-in-training, through webinars and the book of the month. Mrs. Harris has a wealth of knowledge, that she happily shares that continues to be beneficial throughout my learning journey. Mrs. Harris provided several opportunities for inters to work with diverse populations. Mrs. Harris went above and beyond to assist her interns with meeting the necessary requirements for their internship program. 

Mrs. Harris provides weekly supervision in order to support the needs of the interns in training. Mrs. Harris cultivated an atmosphere of learning at Serenity & Grace Therapeutic Services and I will forever be grateful for the opportunity to work under an amazing Supervisor and Therapist."

"Sarah is a wonderful supervisor. Throughout my internship with Sarah, I have been able to receive much support and helpful feedback which has been critical to my professional and personal growth. Sarah challenged me to be become an effective play therapist by providing resources, her expertise, and her perspective. Sarah is always open to answering any questions. 



I enjoy being able to have frank conversations with her and being comfortable enough with her to do so. I believe this one of the aspects of my supervision with Sarah that have aided in my growth as a therapist. Thank you soooo much!"

Talisha T., MFT Intern, 2016

"My experience under Sarah’s supervision was fantastic! I highly recommend Sarah as a supervisor. In fact, I have recommended her to several of the individuals I know looking for a fieldwork site. Throughout my internship, Sarah was always available to answer any pending questions that I had and I had MANY. She challenged my knowledge of different systemic models; making sure that I could recognize interventions from each and how or when to apply them. 

Sarah displayed her knowledge of those different models in every session that I was able to observe. Sarah’s experience as a registered play therapist not only sparked my interest in working with children, but provided knowledge and resources that I did not have. One of the highlights of supervision was our “book of the month.” This process started building my professional library. This was just another example of Sarah pushing me to learn more and apply what was learned. 

Sarah models the foundation, principles and theory of an adequate marriage and family therapist and I am grateful for her example as that has helped me professionally. I gained a ton of experience being supervised by Sarah. I could not be more thankful that she chose me as an intern. Thank you Sarah!!"
