Sarah Simpson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Arizona. She holds both a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Arizona State University, and is currently completing a PhD in Clinical Sexology, with anticipated graduation in 2026.

Her clinical approach integrates principles of Emotionally Focused Therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, and somatic attachment therapy, with ongoing advanced training in Somatic Experiencing.

Her work centers on helping individuals and partners navigate attachment injury, trauma, nervous system dysregulation, sexual disconnection, and relational shutdown—particularly when shaped by religious or purity culture, medical experiences, or long-standing relational patterns.

She is frequently sought out by clients who have completed insight-based therapy and are seeking a more emotionally focused, embodied, and relational approach. Her clinical style is calm, attuned, and precise, prioritizing emotional safety, depth, and clinical integrity.

The clinical approach at Embodied Alignment Therapy integrates emotionally focused therapy, attachment science, interpersonal neurobiology, and somatic attachment work.

Attachment theory is used to understand relational patterns, neurobiology informs regulation and integration, and somatic psychotherapy supports direct work with the nervous system rather than relying solely on insight or cognition.

This integration allows therapy to move beyond conceptual understanding and into helping the body experience safety, connection, and emotional responsiveness in real time.
