Break Free from Burnout & Perfectionism—Find Peace Within
Welcome—I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Sarah Flavien, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Pembroke Pines, Florida, with over five years of experience in private practice. I specialize in helping high-functioning professionals break free from the grip of perfectionism, burnout, and self-defeating patterns—often rooted in unresolved developmental and attachment trauma.





TRUSTED BY HIGH-ACHIEVERS AND PROFESSIONALS
I help individuals navigate the lasting impact of perfectionism, burnout, and developmental trauma—so they can reclaim their energy and self-worth.
1. EMDR to reprocess traumatic memories
2. Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) to heal self-criticism
3. Internal Family Systems (IFS) to resolve inner conflicts
4. Mind-Body Medicine techniques (from the Center for Mind-Body Medicine) to reconnect with your body's wisdom
DO YOU STRUGGLE WITH PERFECTIONISM OR BURNOUT?
BUT FEEL STUCK IN THE SAME PATTERNS?
Many of my clients come from backgrounds with narcissistic or perfectionistic caregivers. They’ve spent years overachieving while carrying deep inner stress—exhausted by anxiety, grief, or the weight of ‘never feeling enough.’
As a trauma-informed therapist, I help you uncover the roots of these struggles. Using EMDR, mindfulness, and mind-body techniques, we’ll create sustainable change—so you can break free from self-defeating cycles and reconnect with yourself.
At the core of my practice is a belief in the power of the therapeutic relationship. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach, because when we feel safe, seen, and supported, true healing becomes possible. If you’re ready to shift long-standing patterns and create a more grounded, connected version of yourself—I’m here to help you get there.

How I Can Support Your Healing Journey
Holistic, Trauma-Informed Therapies
My therapeutic approach blends evidence-based techniques with mind-body awareness to address deep-rooted patterns. Whether you’re navigating trauma, grief, or burnout, we’ll work collaboratively to create meaningful change.
I’m trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help clients process and heal from past wounds, especially those tied to perfectionism or developmental trauma.
Using tools from the Center for Mind-Body Medicine, I integrate mindfulness, ACT, and Compassion-Focused Therapy to help you reconnect with yourself and build resilience.
I offer mindfulness and grief support workshops for organizations, helping professionals manage stress and emotional demands in sustainable ways.
