Sarah Vanderburg is a Psychological Technician at MPA's McAlester location. At MPA, our Registered Psychological Technicians play an important role in supporting psychological services under the supervision of licensed psychologists. Psychological technicians may assist with tasks such as psychological testing administration, behavioral observations, record organization, and other supportive functions within the scope permitted by Oklahoma law and professional regulations. While some team members may also hold additional professional licenses or credentials that allow them to provide services in a different clinical capacity, services provided in the role of Registered Psychological Technician are always supervised and practice-limited in accordance with state guidelines.
Sarah brings over 13 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor to her work. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Biology from Stephens College and a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Northeastern State University — a background that reflects both scientific rigor and deep human insight.

Sarah's clinical journey has given her a broad, seasoned perspective on mental health care, and she channels all of that experience into her work supporting MPA's clients and team.

On her days off, she's currently learning the art of embroidery. Come spring and summer, she trades the needle for a lawn mower. Both, she'll tell you, are surprisingly meditative.
