What Is Intuitive Therapy? Your Questions Answered
If you've heard about intuitive therapy but aren't quite sure what happens in a session or whether it's the right fit for you, you're not alone. Many women come to this work with curiosity mixed with uncertainty—and that's a completely natural place to start.
What Intuitive Therapy Actually Is
Intuitive therapy blends clinical training with spiritual insight to help you access deeper layers of self-awareness and healing. Unlike traditional talk therapy, which focuses primarily on cognitive patterns and behavior, intuitive therapy incorporates energetic and spiritual dimensions to explore the unconscious blocks, emotions, and patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
Sarah Dugas, LCSW, NATC, CSTT, brings both her clinical expertise as a licensed therapist and her abilities as a psychic medium to each session. This means the work is grounded in proven therapeutic frameworks while also opening space for intuitive guidance—information that comes through sensing energy, receiving impressions, or connecting with your inner knowing. The result is a session that feels both safe and surprisingly clarifying, offering you insight that reaches beyond what words alone can uncover.
This approach is particularly helpful for women who have already done meaningful inner work—perhaps through traditional therapy, coaching, or other healing modalities—and are ready to explore what lies beneath the surface. It's not about replacing the work you've done; it's about going deeper.
What Happens in a Session
When you book a session with Sarah, you'll start by choosing between an in-person appointment in southern Maine or a phone or virtual session if you're located elsewhere in the US or internationally. Sessions typically last 60 to 90 minutes.
At the beginning, Sarah will invite you to share what brought you in—whether that's a specific question, a feeling of being stuck, a recent life transition, or simply a sense that something needs to shift. There's no pressure to have it all figured out before you arrive. Many clients come in feeling uncertain about what they need, and that's exactly where the intuitive work begins.
During the session, Sarah listens on multiple levels. She's trained to hear not just your words but also the energy and emotion beneath them. She may receive intuitive impressions, images, or guidance that help illuminate patterns you've been living with, decisions you're weighing, or parts of yourself that are ready to be seen and understood. The session unfolds as a conversation—gentle, collaborative, and always centered on what serves your growth.
By the end, most clients report feeling more connected to themselves, clearer on their next steps, and empowered to move forward with greater confidence. You won't leave with a prescriptive to-do list, but you will leave with insight, validation, and a renewed sense of your own inner authority.
Who Intuitive Therapy Is For
This work is for women who are on a personal growth journey and ready to look honestly at themselves. You might be navigating a major life transition—a divorce, a breakup, a career shift, or simply a season of rediscovery. You might feel stuck at an impasse, unclear about what's holding you back but certain that something has to change. Or you might have done years of therapy and healing work and sense that there's a deeper layer waiting to be explored.
You don't need to identify as spiritual to benefit from this work, but you do need to be open. Open to the possibility that insight can come from places beyond logic. Open to sitting with uncomfortable truths. Open to change.
Intuitive therapy is not for someone looking for quick fixes, surface-level advice, or someone else to tell them what to do. It's also not a replacement for ongoing mental health treatment if you're in crisis or managing acute symptoms. Sarah's work is best suited for women who are stable enough to engage in deep self-exploration and who are seeking clarity, empowerment, and alignment with their most authentic self.
If a trusted friend has referred you, if you've been curious about combining clinical rigor with intuitive depth, or if you're simply at a crossroads and need support finding your way—this may be exactly what you're looking for.
How to Prepare
Preparing for your first session is simple. You don't need to do anything elaborate or bring a list of questions, though you're welcome to if that feels helpful. The most important thing you can bring is your willingness to be honest—with Sarah and with yourself.
If you're feeling anxious or unsure, that's completely normal. Many clients feel nervous before their first session, especially if they've never worked with a psychic medium or experienced this type of intuitive work before. Trust that Sarah understands, and trust that the session will unfold at a pace that feels right for you.
Logistically, choose a quiet, private space if you're joining by phone or video. Give yourself a little breathing room before and after the session—this isn't work you want to squeeze between back-to-back meetings. Wear comfortable clothing, bring water, and allow yourself to simply show up as you are.
After the session, give yourself time to integrate. Some clients journal, take a walk, or simply sit quietly. The insights that surface during intuitive therapy often continue to unfold in the days and weeks that follow.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an intuitive therapist?
An intuitive therapist is someone who combines traditional therapeutic skills with intuitive or energetic awareness. While traditional therapy relies on cognitive and behavioral frameworks, intuitive therapy uses a more mindful and spiritual language based on energy. The therapist guides you deeper into the unconscious layers of stored emotions, helping bring to awareness what needs to be released or understood. Sarah Dugas holds clinical credentials as an LCSW and integrates her psychic medium abilities to offer this blended approach.
Which personality type is most intuitive?
People with an INFJ personality type are often considered the most intuitive on the Myers-Briggs spectrum, as they are dominant in introverted intuition. INFJs tend to be highly focused on their internal insights and often stick to their intuitions with single-minded focus. That said, intuition is not limited to one personality type—everyone has access to their inner knowing, and intuitive therapy is designed to help you strengthen that connection regardless of how you're wired.
