Healing and empowerment begin here- Mind, Body, and Soul. So much of our lives are lived in a “go go go” mentality. Go faster, do more, BE more. We push down our anxiety, our sadness, our grief, our struggles, to try to keep up with this unsustainable pace. Let’s move from surviving to 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.

A very special, near and dear to my heart focus of my practice is pet loss and grief therapy. Click here for additional information on this important topic and how we can work together as you heal.

My background: I have my doctorate and masters degrees in clinical psychology. I have been working in the mental health field since 2005, and have been a licensed clinical psychologist since 2014. I have worked in a variety of settings, including inpatient state hospitals, outpatient facilities, and private practice. It has been an honor to have helped hundreds of people along their healing journeys.  I am a pet loss and grief specialist, and a certified Compassionate Bereavement Care provider from the Center for Loss and Trauma in partnership with the Miss Foundation and the Elisabeth Kubler-Ross family trust. I am trained in somatic embodiment and regulation, DBT, trauma-informed care, and breathwork facilitation. I am a member of the American Psychological Association and the Association for Pet Loss and Bereavement.

​

In my spare time, I like to spend time with my family and friends. I am an animal lover and have a dog and several cats (as well as pets who have departed from this physical realm who I still hold dearly in my heart). I am a staunch feminist, an LGBTQ+ ally, and a culturally responsive clinician. I love spending time in nature, communing with the spirits of the trees and plants. I have completed training in plant spirit psychopomp work. I am a Reiki master. I am an herbalist-in-training.
