About me

Welcome — I’m Sarah Huertas, the founder of Harmony Within Psychotherapy and Wellness. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level II (CCTP-II), and Shamanic Reiki Master Practitioner trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

With over 17 years of experience in the mental health field, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals of all ages and backgrounds as they navigate life’s challenges and rediscover their inner strength.

My Approach

I believe that growth is a holistic process that integrates the mind, body, and spirit. My work is grounded in evidence-based practices like EMDR and trauma-informed therapy, while also drawing upon the transformative principles of energy healing and spiritual connection.

Whether through psychotherapy, spiritual life coaching, or energy healing, my goal is to help you move through blockages, reconnect with your authentic self, and cultivate lasting harmony from within.

Areas of Focus

I work with clients experiencing a wide range of concerns, including:

• Depression and anxiety

• Shame and self-worth challenges

• Caregiver stress and burnout

• Trauma, Complex-Trauma and post-traumatic stress

• Life transitions and relationship difficulties

• Health anxiety and chronic stress

• Personality-related struggles

• People-pleasing and self-love deficits

• Disconnection from self

• Legacy burdens and intergenerational trauma

 

Therapeutic Approaches

I believe true transformation happens when we honor the connection between mind, body, and spirit. My work integrates evidence-based therapies with holistic and spiritually grounded practices, allowing clients to access deep emotional healing and sustainable change. Each session is thoughtfully tailored to your unique needs, drawing from the following approaches:​

Somatic Therapy

Helps you reconnect with your body’s innate wisdom and safely release stored tension, trauma, and emotional blocks through mindful awareness and body-based techniques.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
An evidence-based approach that supports the reprocessing of traumatic or distressing experiences—reducing emotional intensity and promoting adaptive beliefs about yourself and your life.

Polyvagal-Informed Therapy
Grounded in nervous system science, this approach helps you understand and regulate your body’s physiological responses to stress, fostering a greater sense of safety, connection, and emotional balance.

Psychodynamic Therapy
Explores early experiences, relationship patterns, and unconscious dynamics that shape your current emotions and behaviors—encouraging insight, healing, and personal growth.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)-Informed Therapy
Encourages compassionate exploration of your internal “parts,” fostering self-leadership, harmony, and emotional integration.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Focuses on identifying and reframing unhelpful thought patterns, empowering you to approach life’s challenges with clarity, balance, and confidence.

Spiritually-Oriented Psychotherapy
Integrates psychological insight with spiritual exploration, helping you connect with meaning, intuition, and inner guidance to support healing and transformation on all levels.

My Philosophy

After experiencing the profound impact of my own healing journey, I felt deeply called to support others in finding balance, self-compassion, and peace. From a young age, I knew I wanted to be a light in the world — someone who helps others feel seen, supported, and less alone.

I truly believe in the power of transformation and the importance of cultivating harmony within. This journey isn’t about changing yourself — it’s about coming home to your truest self.

Work With Me

I offer in-person sessions at my Vernon, New Jersey office and virtual therapy for clients throughout New Jersey. My practice provides a safe, supportive, and empowering space for growth, clarity, and self-discovery.

If you’re ready to begin your journey toward alignment and inner peace, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
