# About Nied Integrative Therapy Source: https://saraniedwa.com/about/ > About Nied Integrative Therapy, a Redmond psychotherapy practice offering telehealth across Washington. Licensed therapists sharing my story—learn more today I run a therapy practice in Washington State. I help people, couples, and families heal and communicate better. In my experience, small steps lead to big change. ## Built on 15 Years of Listening to What Really Helps I started this practice for a simple reason. I saw people talk in circles with no real fix. I wanted therapy to give people tools they could actually use. Over the years, I've learned something important. Just talking doesn't fix things on its own. People need small steps to go with their feelings. That's how change really sticks. You'll see this in every session I run. I mix warmth with structure, not one or the other. You'll leave with something new to try or think about. ## The Standards Behind Every Session These values guide how I work with every client. It doesn't matter if you come alone or with a partner. They shape how I listen and how I help. You'll see them in small ways each time. I hold these same standards for everyone who walks in. That's just how I work, no exceptions. Honest Talk Proven Tools Real Follow-Through Practical Progress I tell you what I see, even when it's tough. I won't hide hard truths that hold you back. You deserve clear words, not soft guesses. Honest talk helps you make real choices about your life. I share it kindly, but I never hide behind soft words. That kind of honesty builds trust over time. In my experience, it's the only way therapy truly works. I use the Gottman Method, EFT, and attachment-based methods that work, not trends. You get help backed by real research, not guesswork. I check on the tools I give you. I ask what worked and what didn't. Some tools click right away for people. Others need small changes first. Growth happens between sessions and during them too. Real change shows up in small daily moments. That's why I track progress together over time. I don't just talk about your problems all day. I help you build skills for next time things get hard. ## A Process That Respects Your Time Therapy works better when you know what's next. You shouldn't feel lost about how sessions go. Here's how I work with new clients. I start by talking about your goals and past. Then I build a plan that fits your pace. You'll always know why I do what I do. One thing most people don't realize: good therapy needs a clear map. I Listen First I Find What Fits I Stay Steady Before I suggest anything, I want to know what's really going on. That takes time, and I give it freely. Not every method works for every person I meet. I fit my plan to you, not the other way around. I show up ready and do what I say. You can count on that, every single time. ## Telehealth Support Across Washington State What Clients Can Expect Sessions that fit your work schedule. Clear talk about your plan and progress. The same therapist, every single time. Tools you can use between visits. I offer telehealth sessions all over Washington State. No matter where you live, you get the same care each visit. I've learned that good care shouldn't depend on your zip code. ## Standards That Protect You You'll know you're working with a real pro. Your sessions follow a fair, steady standard.

Why That Matters For You Licensed by Washington State's Department of Health Ongoing training in proven therapy methods Clear boundaries and fair practice Care in how I handle every case Rules and licenses aren't just paperwork to me.
