Hi, I am Emily Sabado.

I am the owner/psychotherapist of Serenity with Sabado, PLLC. The name of my practice originates from my Spanish last name Sabado (meaning Saturday in English) and the inspiration to help my clients reach a state of calm and peace in such a busy world.

I am a Mexican-American Latina who is also a first-generation college graduate. I was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas. I graduated with my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) in 2018 and my Master of Social Work (MSW) in 2019 from Texas Christian University (go frogs!). I completed 3,000 hours of supervision and received my Clinical Social Work License (LCSW) in 2021.

Social work has always been a goal I wanted to pursue in life. I have always wanted to offer therapy to the communities that I am most passionate about. Over the last few years, I have gained experience working with adolescents and their families at a nonprofit organization, as well as in school settings. I have worked with a variety of cultures, specifically with latino/a/x cultures helping to deconstruct trauma that they have endured throughout childhood.

My office is located in Bedford, Texas but I also offer services throughout the state of Texas and Oklahoma via telehealth services. I am bilingual and provide counseling services in both English and Spanish. I have experience utilizing a variety of treatment modalities for children, adolescents, and adults. Treatment modalities I have had training in include the following: trust-based relational intervention (TBRI), client-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral intervention therapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.

As humans, we are complex beings. I recognize that everyone comes from different backgrounds with different lived experiences, and because of this, I approach treatment interventions for each client differently. Using a one-fits-all approach would be doing a disservice to my clients. It is important to me that as I work with each of my clients, their care is specialized to their needs.
