My Story
My name is Dr. Sara Spowart and I provide compassion-based therapy in-person and remotely. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and my Florida Registration Number is MT 4262. I provide both in-person and remote therapeutic support. My focus is on helping you create the life of your dreams and to be strong and resilient in the face of any obstacle. I work in an individualized, boutique fashion so that every client receives the tools and exact support they need for whatever they are dealing with in their lives.
We work to break harmful life patterns that individuals may feel stuck in so they can reach higher and higher levels of wellbeing. I specialize in a range of issues from supporting children, couples and families who are struggling, to helping victims of violence, abuse and trauma. We work so that you can become the lightest, most fulfilled version of yourself. I take a humanistic approach to therapy where we increase your life satisfaction and happiness and aim to fulfill your greatest potential.
I recently published a book titled "You are Love: The Discovery of Happiness." I am also featured on a regular podcast for issues concerning narcissism on Unfilterred and on the Law of Attraction Radio Network with my new show "Happiness Learned." I specialize in supporting individuals to create their 'lightest life' possible, where they no longer feel burdened and heavy or stuck in any situation. Compassion & happiness-filled living is my goal for you.

With So So Much Love!!

“I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. ... Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace.”
