Sara Joglar, LCSW

Outside of work, I’m spending time with my family, hanging with my pets, poking around in my isopod setup, or trying to reset my nervous system out in nature. I’m Plains Cree from Red Pheasant First Nation, and that connection influences how I move through the world — with respect for the land, community, and the belief that healing is both personal and collective. I’m into deep conversations, weird questions, and moments that pull us out of the day-to-day noise. That’s usually where the real growth starts.

 

I’ve been working with at-risk youth and families since the late ’90s — long before I had any letters behind my name. I spent 16 years as a foster parent, which gave me a front-row seat to the realities of trauma, resilience, and what it means to show up for someone when things get messy. I connect easily with youth from hard places — the ones who don’t trust easily, who’ve been through more than most people know.

 

I obtained my Master’s in Social Work from Boise State University. I’ve worked in school settings, with private providers, and with court-involved families — supporting people through some of the most stressful and complex chapters of their lives. I’m trained in TF-CBT, EMDR, CBT, DBT (in school settings), and Motivational Interviewing. I’m also a member of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC) and the National Association of Social Workers (NASW). My work is trauma-informed, real, and rooted in the belief that healing happens when people feel truly seen.​
