About Me
I’m Dr. Sarah Campbell, LPC, NCC, ACS, BC-TMH, with nearly two decades of experience in clinical practice, higher education, and systems-level consultation. I specialize in trauma-informed mental health consultation and crisis response support for school districts, as well as conducting evaluations and assessments to guide advocacy for students, families, school boards, court systems, and privately contracted individuals and institutions. My work integrates clinical expertise with academic leadership—I currently serve as a full-time professor and clinical supervisor for a CACREP-accredited counseling program and have taught and developed curriculum across numerous institutions nationwide.
Through my practice, Changing Waves Consulting, I provide integrated services in counseling, consulting, coaching, forensic consultation, curriculum development, and community education—helping individuals and organizations navigate complexity with clarity, compassion, and measurable impact.
I hold a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision and advanced training in social work, coaching, and trauma. I am a trained EFT therapist, Parenting Coordinator for the NJ Family Court System, and am completing certifications as a Mediator, Board Certified Coach, and SOS DV-8 Domestic Violence Interventionist. My work is grounded in ethics, cultural humility, and a deep commitment to systemic change.
What I Offer
I offer a comprehensive range of services including counseling, coaching, consultation, clinical supervision, mediation, forensic consulting and evaluations, parenting coordination, co-parenting support, reunification therapy, reactive attachment and adoption support/home studies/post adoption reports, eating disorders, school avoidance/refusal specialist, substance use, and domestic violence intervention. I work with individuals, couples, and families facing a diversity of presenting concerns using a trauma-informed, needs- and strengths-based approach, integrating models like Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) to support healing and connection.
I also specialize in training future counselors, providing clinical supervision, consulting on high-stakes mental health and forensic cases, and designing developmentally and culturally responsive curricula and community education for institutions and organizations. Additionally, I provide mental health consultation and crisis response intervention for school districts, and prepare evidence-based reports, evaluations, and assessments to support effective advocacy for both school systems and private clients.
My workday to the strengths based approach, tends to be shorter-term in nature, while grounded in ethics, cultural humility, and a deep commitment to meaningful, systemic change.
My Approach
I take a holistic, individualized and evidence-based approach for every service I provide and client I support —whether working with individuals, groups, couples, co-parents, families, professionals, or institutions. My practice is guided by a needs- and strengths-based philosophy, rooted in attachment theory, emotion focused, acceptance and commitment, and solution-focused strategies, with a deep appreciation of the power of human connection.
Whether in therapy, consultation, supervision, mediation, coaching, educational, or forensic work, my goal is to create a collaborative space where clients, supervisees, and/or organizations feel seen, empowered, and equipped to move forward with greater clarity, purpose, and impact.
