My name is Caroline Sabi, and I am a licensed professional counselor. I earned my bachelor's degree in the field of psychology from UC Berkeley and my master's degree in the field of counseling psychology from Lewis & Clark College. I provide therapy and coaching to residents of Oregon and coaching to people all over the United States.
Remarkably, I knew since the age of 9 that working in the field of mental health was my calling; however, life had other plans for me. My destiny was to immigrate twice, and detour to law school in France before landing in the USA and getting my formal education in counseling psychology.

My focus as a relational and existential-humanistic psychotherapist is to walk the path of healing into wholeness with my client. It is my honor and privilege to be a companion and a guide to whomever decides to take the chance to venture on this journey to self-transformation. The pathways on this journey will be complex, multilayered, circular and even mysteriously numinous.
Painful experiences from childhood and later in life as well traumatic events seem to get locked into our nervous system with the original images, sounds, thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, self-perceptions, etc. Frequently, we do not remember consciously exactly what happened, especially when painful experiences occurred at a young age.
I ask that you pay my fee directly to me (check, cash or credit card) at the end of each session. You are responsible for payment whether or not you choose to use insurance coverage. Insurance coverage has advantages and disadvantages. Typically I am not covered by any managed care plan, health management organization or preferred provider plan.
Caroline Sabi is one of the most gifted, insightful, authentic, powerful and healing people I've ever met. She meets you where you are with warmth, compassion, understanding and acceptance. She has knowledge and wisdom from many sources and she pulls from all of them, using that which best serves the client and promotes healing and wholeness.

She took time to understand what works for me on many levels and together we designed a course of action that worked wonders in my growth, healing and empowerment. She helped me when I needed it most and got me back

Caroline has been hands down the most effective support in my healing process. She possesses all the qualities that I have needed to grow through some pretty tremendous life hurdles. She is extremely clear, while at the same time having a deeply nurturing, grounded, radiant presence herself. To me Caroline has been is honest, respectful, direct, so so kind, appropriate and professional.
I think the honesty and clarity she offers is really important for me because it helps me find my own way more quickly which for me is something I was looking for. I need that. Just being listened to was

Caroline is simply amazing! I was referred to her by a good friend during a time of intense trauma. I have been working with her for about 6 months now and the work we've done has shifted so much for me. She is kind, incredibly wise and intuitive. Her EMDR techniques are truly magical! I am so grateful to have been referred to her and will absolutely continue to work with her for the foreseeable future.

If you decide to see Caroline my only advice would be that if you find yourself disagreeing with her at any point don't attempt to appease her in your disagreements because you will hide from yourself how easily angry she can become and how cruel she can be when experiencing even minor pushback.
My only regret is that I waited too long to give Caroline any pushback because I so badly wanted her to like me. Instead I tiptoed around on eggshells which allowed me to preserve an image of Caroline as calm and kind.
So if you find yourself disagreeing I'd encourage you to express your disagreement

Caroline is an incredibly warm, accepting, and wise support. Her presence creates such safety and groundedness to help explore the most difficult things, knowing that there won't be an ounce of judgment. She is a therapist who truly knows her stuff. Who you can trust fully that you are in safe hands. I am so grateful to have found her and to have been able to work with her for over a year now. I truly did not expect to grow in the ways that I have with her help.

I have been seeing Caroline for over a decade, and continue my work with her as I have been moving states over the last few years. Caroline is more than my therapist, but a spiritual mentor that continues to teach me ways to heal. I cannot find the words to describe just how much Caroline has helped me find myself over the years, find peace on certain matters, and help me continue to work on the rest as an ongoing process of healing. Thank you Caroline, truly, for being such an incredible, life-changing mentor.

Caroline changed my life, she's helped me to change my perspective and gain insight on a very challenging upbringing I had, I have been seeing her for 8 years. She helped to heal me from traumatic memories using EMDR, and other amazing visualizing techniques. I am so grateful for her innovative practices and genuinely kind and caring personality.
