About Sarah
Inspired by her work for The SC Department of Social Services, Sarah became a therapist in 2020 with the mission to make a meaningful impact on more families and individuals in the Carolinas. She joined the Palmetto Counseling team in October 2024 and is especially passionate about helping our foster youth restore their feelings of self-determination. A foster parent herself, she’s deeply dedicated to empowering her clients to advocate for themselves.
Using a motivational and hands-on approach, Sarah guides her clients through their processing of complicated feelings and gaining more control over their lives. She understands that therapy can seem scary and overwhelming but encourages clients to open up and trust the process, knowing that she’s on their side, validating their feelings every step of the way.
We’re often in a rush to change, get to the next step, or reach a new goal, but every therapy journey is different and has its own pace. Sarah believes in slowing down, feeling everything, processing, problem-solving, and moving forward.
“I’ve loved turtles ever since I learned that turtles move slowly because they have everything they need right there on their back and will go inside when scared or need a rest. It was then that I adopted my new philosophy of slowing down. Slow and steady wins the race.”
—Sarah Hunter, MSW, LISW-CP
