About Dr. Sarah Boettner
Sarah has worked in the field of social services and mental health for more than 25 years. Throughout her career, much has evolved yet her core commitment has remained the same: to support, educate, and thoughtfully challenge individuals toward meaningful growth. Her work centers on progress over perfection, grounded in the belief that sustainable change happens through curiosity, skill-building, and compassionate accountability.
Through personal and professional experience, Sarah is deeply familiar with the cumulative impact of anxiety, trauma, and emotional disconnection. Her own commitment to healing and whole-person wellness led her to explore mind–body integration, self-identity, and sustainable mental health practices. These values became the foundation for Total Wellness 365 — a practice built to offer comprehensive, relationally grounded, and accessible care to the community.
Real change isn’t about quick fixes — it’s about building the skills to live well, imperfectly, and with intention.
Sarah works with partners whose lives have been upended by a loved one’s compulsive sexual behavior, porn use, or sexual offense history. She treats betrayal trauma directly, helping partners make sense of what happened, steady themselves, and decide what comes next, whether or not the relationship continues. When couples are ready, she also guides structured therapeutic disclosure so the truth comes out in a way that’s safe for everyone.
Much of her clinical experience is rooted in the evaluation and treatment of justice-involved individuals, which shaped her long-standing dedication to underserved communities and high-need populations. From this work, she developed a specialized clinical focus in sexology: compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD), problematic pornography use, and treatment for sexually abusive behavior, with an emphasis on accountability and relational repair. That includes clients many therapists turn away: adults with a sexual offense history who are also dealing with compulsive sexual behavior or problematic porn use. She treats both: the sexually abusive behavior and the compulsivity underneath it.
