Discover when Perfectionism Gets in Your Way
(And When It Doesn’t!)
Are you bugged by a feeling that you’re never good enough? You might procrastinate tasks until everything feels right to get started. Maybe you worry if you change your behavior or try something new you’ll let others down?
I assist clients in making sustainable change by identifying patterns and social structures that are keeping you stuck, getting comfortable with conflict, understanding fears, strengthening coping skills, and breaking free from routines that don’t work anymore.
It’s Nice to Meet You
Hi, I’m Sarah Evert
MSW, LICSW
I’m a licensed psychotherapist based in Minnetonka, MN. I specialize in working with perfectionists and overachievers. My clients report immediate relief due to the tailored approach and evidence-based interventions I use. I offer a down-to-earth approach during sessions and focus on getting you the tools you need to thrive.
Am I a good fit for you?
Who I Help
I work with adults and teens (13+) who are high-achievers and put a lot of pressure on themselves to succeed, but wind up struggling to find satisfaction in their everyday lives.
My Specialties
Stress and Burnout
Anxiety & Depression
Family Conflict
Life Transitions

Self-Esteem
Trauma & PTSD
An Authentic Approach
My priority is that you feel seen and heard each session. I value realness, a sense of humor, and use a mindful, person-centered approach. I invite you to say it like it is!
How To Get Started
Take Your First Steps
Free 15-Minute Intro Phone Call
I will ask about current stressors, share practice policies, set expectations, answer questions, and schedule your first session.
First Diagnostic Session
Meet with Sarah at the office on the world’s comfiest couch, on a walk outside, or virtually from the comfort of your own home.
Begin Regular Sessions
You will begin to identify and implement effective coping skills for problems you’re facing, share past experiences and current patterns, while gaining insight from evidence-based interventions.
Intensive Sessions
I offer 2 or 3 hour-long intensive sessions to help you take a big step forward. Therapy intensives consist of traditional talk therapy and Accelerated Resolution Therapy.
Why Intensives Might Be Right For You
- A weekly appointment is tough to be consistent with.
- You do not enjoy talking about your struggles.
- You’re preparing for a big life event (a job change, a wedding, a re-location, relationship ending).
- You experienced a painful life event in the past that impacts you today.
- You prefer to work intensively. This process is very personal, involves brain-spotting, and customized to you to gain insight and growth moving forward.

Is Therapy Reimbursed?
Yes! You may be able to be reimbursed for your costs.
I’ve compiled some information and tools to help make that process easier for you to navigate. I work with Mentaya, a platform that helps clients get money back on out-of-network therapy sessions. If you have out-of-benefits, Mentaya will file claims and handle the insurance paperwork to make sure you get reimbursed. Mentaya’s goal is to save you time and money. It’s completely optional, and as your therapist I do not benefit in any way from your participation. Check your eligibility for reimbursement here.
