About Me

Healing and empowerment start here—mind, body, and soul. In today’s world, we often find ourselves trapped in a relentless "go, go, go" mentality: pushing harder, doing more, trying to be more. We suppress our anxiety, sadness, grief, and struggles just to keep up with an unsustainable pace. But it’s time to shift from merely surviving to truly thriving.

 

I’m Dr. Sierra Trainor, and I’m a licensed psychologist who is passionate about helping you heal your whole self: mind, body, and spirit. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I tailor my approach to your unique needs and goals. Along with traditional talk therapy, I incorporate holistic practices to help you befriend your nervous system and strengthen the mind-body connection. These body-based approaches help you speak the language of your nervous system, cope with stressors, manage anxiety by understanding what’s happening inside your body, and increase your capacity to face life with resilience and ease. Combining science-backed psychological techniques with holistic approaches is a powerful way to witness rapid transformation physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

​

One of the most heartfelt and meaningful aspects of my practice is supporting individuals through pet loss and grief. This deeply personal journey is something I hold close, and I’m here to help guide you through the healing process.

​

My background includes a Doctorate and Master's degree in Clinical Psychology, and I have been dedicated to the mental health field since 2005. I’ve had the privilege of working as a licensed clinical psychologist since 2014, and over the years, I’ve gained experience in a variety of settings, including inpatient psychiatric hospitals, medical hospitals, outpatient facilities, and private practice. It has truly been an honor to support hundreds of individuals on their unique healing journeys. I specialize in pet loss and grief therapy, and I am a certified Compassionate Bereavement Care provider. My expertise also includes somatic embodiment and regulation, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and breathwork facilitation. I am proud to be a member of the American Psychological Association and the Association for Pet Loss and Bereavement.

​

In my free time, I cherish moments with my family and friends. As an animal lover, I share my home with a dog and seven cats, and I hold the memory of beloved pets who have passed on close to my heart. I am a passionate feminist, a dedicated LGBTQIA+ ally, and a culturally responsive clinician committed to creating an inclusive space for all.

​

Nature is where I find deep connection, and I love spending time outdoors, communing with the spirits of trees and plants. I try to live my life in sacred ceremony, integrating energy work, earth tending, and holistic healing modalities. I’ve trained in plant spirit psychopomp work. I am a certified sylvotherapist, continually exploring the healing power of nature. I am a Reiki Master. I am a Family Herbalist.

​

I am pleased to share that I am able to work with individuals who are located in states that are part of the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PsyPact).

Why Therapy

Therapy Offerings

Therapy can help with

Orange Flowers

Grief and Loss

​A special area of interest within grief work is pet loss and grief. The unique bond and love we have for our animal companions is profound. I can help you cope, as you find ways to honor your departed pet, and find a way to cultivate a meaningful "new normal" with your grief. Click here to learn more.

Anxiety

Anxiety can be overwhelming and leave us feeling emotionally drained. I combine talk therapy with somatic techniques to help address anxiety from both psychological and physiological ways. Talk therapy helps you explore your thoughts and emotions, and somatic approaches help connect with your bodily sensations and regulate your nervous system. 

Self-Exploration and Growth

Therapy can be a powerful tool for self-discovery and personal growth. By befriending our nervous systems and understanding what our bodies are telling us, we can begin the work towards a life we desire.

Stress Management

Stress is a common experience we have when under pressure, overwhelmed, or unable to cope. I can help you understand ways able to shift the state of your nervous system to help you feel more grounded and joyful, as well as identify coping skills for your life.

Trauma

Traumatic events can have long-lasting effects on your mental health. I am trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy. Click here to learn more about this powerful approach.
