Sarah Larsen Astrones

An accomplished Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner, teacher, artist, writer, author, and mentor, my purpose in life is altruistically driven. With more than a decade's worth of working closely with people from all walks of life, I have focused my career entirely on helping others. I have dedicated my life to offering a listening ear, caring heart and guidance regardless of any role I’ve taken on. Whether I have been a mother, partner, counselor, coach, teacher, supervisor, advisor, mentor, leader, or collaborator— I’ve devoted my life’s work to the betterment of others. I am a firm believer that working together and change for the better is always possible so long as ample support be within reach.
I am a born leader and well acclimated regarding human behavior; especially, within the areas of social media/networking, communication, expression, culture, diversity, inclusion, self-care and well-being. In Nebraska, there has not been any limit to what I can do. As a therapist, I’ve been there for multiple populations including individuals, families, schools, court systems, DHHS, and incarcerated county/state people. I helped create a holistic movement that brought together integrated healing modalities to central and rural NE. I taught CEU courses at colleges and universities in NE, CO and KS. As a professional artist, I’ve marketed myself at galleries all over the USA; specifically, online and through social media— my work is internationally published and collected. I’m an author and a poet that believes in the power of words and connection; truly, a skilled conversationalist. I have loved every single moment doing what I do... inspiring hope, change, and togetherness.
I've only just begun and where my heart is— is doing even more than I can/have been able to do. I have been a therapist for awhile now with Brightside and have fallen in love with the company’s outlook. I could offer so much in addition to the great connections and support you’re already building, and would be so honored to be included in your passionate mission. Together, we could continue to change the landscape of telebehavioral healthcare. I’ve got the energy, love and credentialed ethical know-how to help! I’d be so honored to work together with you.

I am a professional artist, and often use expressive art with therapy. There is nothing better to reduce stress and make us feel good than to create! Creating isn't just fun, it's also evidence-based. My art has been on exhibit at art galleries in Denver, Omaha, Baltimore, NYC and was published in the March 2021 CandyFloss “The Feel Good” issue Art & Lifestyle Magazine.

My art piece ‘Life’ was hand selected by the Curator of Contemporary Art at the Delaware Museum of Art for the 2021 National Juried Exhibition at Delaplaine in Frederick, Maryland. I am also contracted with Arteza, Inc. as a promoted artist advertised with use of their art products all over the world. My art is on exhibit through out the month of October in SoHo NYC alongside original works from the Andy Warhol Foundation and Keith Haring Archives.
