In-Person counseling in Newport Beach Virtual Counseling across California
Welcome
Hello, and welcome. I’m glad you’re here.
My name is Sara Burchfiel, and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Eating Disorder Specialist.
Since 2010, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people through some of the most vulnerable and pivotal seasons of their lives. Over the years, I’ve come to understand that our struggles are rarely simple or linear. Often, we have a clear sense of the changes we want to make—maybe even an idea of what needs to happen—but still feel stuck when it comes to taking action. We can find ourselves pulled in different directions and caught in patterns that feel confusing or contradictory.
I believe these places of inner conflict—where we feel stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed—are not signs of failure, but important signals. In therapy, they become powerful entry points for reflection, insight, and meaningful change. It’s a space to slow down, tune in, and explore the complexity of your experience with care and curiosity.
As a therapist, I bring a warm, direct approach, creating space for both support and challenge in your healing process. And while therapy can be hard work, my clients and I also laugh together often—because humor, too, has its place in healing.
