Northside Mental Health

I can’t say enough great things about Sarah Trueblood. I first saw her back in August of 2019 and the moment I left, the tools she gave me and the words of encouragement really changed my life. I knew she was going to be the one that I needed in order to heal and I’m so glad that she is still helping me to this day. She has helped me get my life back, helped me understand my past and has helped me look forward to my future.nnShe is always on time, spends time getting to know me and never makes me feel judged. I never wanted to go to therapy but I can honestly say that going was the best thing I could’ve done for myself.nnI highly recommend Sarah.

Anon NA - I am sorry to hear that your experience with me as your therapist was not a positive one. The most important ingredient to successful therapy is a positive client/therapist relationship and it appears we failed to achieve that. You are welcome to contact Northside Mental Health with any concerns or questions regarding your reported experience.

I’ve been going here for a few months to see Megan, and I’ve had a great experience so far.

I began seeing Sarah Trueblood in August 2018. We agreed that twice a week until end of January was the best plan and from there we would take it down to once a week.nnSarah comes out late and some sessions she would be 25 minutes late, but would charge me for the full hour. She overcharges clients so if you are or will see her pay close attention to the charges to your account.nnI got Sarah as my therapist because on her profile she claims that she specialized in eating disorders. Not only is that false but she makes very distractive comments and is highly uneducated on eating disorders. For one if you are a normal weight or higher weight she doesn’t see your eating disorder as severe. She ignores it even when discussing medical issues related to it.nOn top of this she said my girlfriend was harming my ED recovery because my gf would support me when I was having a difficult time. She thought it was unhealthy, believed my significant other shouldn’t be involved and to let the professionals handle it.nIf you have an eating disorder I highly encourage you to not see her.nnI was working on my trauma and PTSD with her. One session that I met with her I went into detail about my sexual assault after years of not opening up about it. Her response after me opening up was “Thats hard. So aren’t you upset at your birthmom for putting you up for adoption?” 1- We weren’t even discussing that. 2- I previously made it clear I never was upset at my birthmother and for her to make an issue out of nothing is alarming.nnAs I mentioned earlier Sarah and I agreed to meet twice a week until end of January. Between September and December she began scheduling me twice a month. After confronting her and being ignored I went to her boss. The next season with Sarah she got upset at me and blamed me for the entire situation, and accused me of not wanting to recover; I was going to group and pushing more sessions so this upset me. She outwardly said she checked out as a therapist and didn’t want to help me.nnI have dealt with suicide for many years and she was aware of this when I first went in. Most of the time when I am actively suicidal I do tell someone or even go to the psych ward myself. One session I went in and told her I was on the verge of attempting, felt out of control and didn’t trust myself. She cut the session 25 minutes early and let me walk out the door. No safety plan. No contacting my significant other (emergency contact) I attempted that evening. She didn’t care.nnI discussed all of my concerns with my significant other and support team. They all agreed Sarah was toxic to my recovery, was unprofessional and outwardly thought she had issues of her own which she put on me. I stopped seeing her and since than I have been doing significantly better with my new therapist.
