Behavioral health support for firefighters and the people who love them

The fire service shapes more than what happens on shift. It affects the nervous system, identity, relationships, performance, and the ability to come home.

Guiding Light Behavioral Health helps firefighters and families understand those realities with honest language, clinical depth, and respect for the culture.

You do not have to wait until crisis becomes the only teacher.

How We Can Work Together

Whether you're looking for focused trauma treatment or want to better understand the behavioral health strengths and needs of your department, Guiding Light offers services designed specifically for the fire service.

Insurance & Billing

HSA cards, debit and credit cards accepted.

Guiding Light Behavioral Health is a private-pay practice and does not bill insurance or Workers' Compensation.

If appropriate, I can provide a superbill for psychotherapy services that you may submit to your insurance carrier for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Reimbursement is determined by your individual plan.

Payment is due at the time of service.

About Sarah

Sarah Mildrum, LCSW

Sarah Mildrum is a licensed clinical social worker and Maine’s first Emergency Responder and Public Safety Certified Clinician. For more than a decade, she has worked with firefighters, first responders, public safety professionals, and their families at the intersection of trauma treatment, nervous-system health, identity, performance, and the realities of the job.

Sarah is trained in Brainspotting and specializes in focused trauma treatment for people who are accustomed to functioning under pressure. Her work is direct, grounded, and designed to respect both the person and the culture they serve within.

As the wife of a career firefighter, Sarah also understands that the effects of the job rarely stop at the station door.

Her goal is not to treat firefighters as fragile but to help them finish the careers they love with their minds, bodies, relationships, and sense of self intact.
