Sabrina Sartori Chouinard, LISW, CEDS, therapist at Enlighten Me Counseling in Clive, Iowa

Hi, I’m Sabrina Sartori Chouinard, LISW, CEDS-C

I’m a Licensed Independent Social Worker in Iowa and a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Brazil with over 20 years of counseling experience. I am an iaedp™ Certified Eating Disorder Specialist and Approved Consultant (CEDS-C), an EMDRIA Approved Consultant, an EMDR Certified Therapist, and a Certified Family-Based Treatment (FBT) provider through Stanford University and the Training Institute for Child and Adolescent Eating Disorders. I am bicultural and bilingual in English and Portuguese and specialize in the treatment of adolescents and adults with eating disorders, disordered eating, body image concerns, trauma, and anxiety using evidence-based approaches.

I develop customized treatment plans based on each client’s needs. I work collaboratively with pediatricians, primary care providers, registered dietitians, psychiatrists, and other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive, team-based care. In addition to my clinical practice, I provide consultation to therapists in eating disorder treatment, EMDR, and Family-Based Treatment throughout the United States and internationally. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship and the use of advanced, evidence-based protocols are the foundation for meaningful healing and lasting change. I offer both in-person and telehealth services for clients throughout Iowa.
