At SANCTUARY, I aim to provide a safe, warm, empathetic, and compassionate space to allow you to be you without judgment.

Therapy will be catered specifically to you with consideration of your values, culture, and experiences.I use a range of approaches from a trauma-informed lens including somatic experiencing, psychodynamic, person-centred, acceptance and commitment based and cognitive behavioural therapy.

We start with a free 15 minute intake call to understand what has brought you to counselling, answer any questions you may have about beginning therapy and to determine whether we are a good fit. From there, we would book your first session that would be 50 minutes in length to gather some information and collaboratively determine the goals and frequency of the session. The session cost is $130 + HST.

Welcome,

My name is Sarah Karkanis and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and owner of Sanctuary Wellness Clinic located at 101 Mary St W, Whitby, Ontario.

I aim to provide a space dedicated to your personal growth, navigating through relationship challenges, and enhancing your overall well-being. Whether you’re stuck in your trauma, grappling with anxiety or depression, wrestling with low self-esteem, or facing relationship or family difficulties, this is a safe haven where resilience and authentic connections flourish.

Step into a sacred space where healing transcends the spoken word and delves into the uncharted language of the body. As a therapist specializing in trauma recovery, somatic therapy, and EMDR, my mission is to guide individuals through a transformative journey of self-discovery. With a deep understanding of the body’s profound wisdom, I provide a safe haven for exploration, resilience, and the unlocking of the path to healing.

My therapeutic approach is personalized and trauma-informed, weaving together attachment-based, somatic experiencing, and client-centered approaches. Embracing a focus on self-compassion and self-esteem, our journey will be transformative—an exploration of emotions, development of coping strategies, and the nurturing of a the mind-body connection.
