Sarah Sack
(she/her)
My name is Sarah and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker experienced in working with young adults and adults struggling with anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, codependency and adult children of dysfunctional family systems issues, building confidence and self-esteem, and depression. Asking for help is no small feat, and your being here means you are taking that courageous first step toward your emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being! I take a whole person approach to help you gain the hope, skills, and confidence to navigate life’s challenges, make meaningful change, and manage your mental health and well-being and successfully. Together we can work to build the bridge from where you are now to a life with more joy, resilience, and possibility. You are no less worthy than anyone else of a full and meaningful life, and I believe that whole-heartedly. I am here to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for you to find growth and healing. I will meet you where you are at, remain open and curious about your experiences, and partner with you to identify and work towards your goals. I believe in the healing power of showing up authentically, creating a trusting relationship with you, and even sharing some laughs along the way.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together, we will get to know one another and your hopes and expectations for therapy. We will collaborate together to identify the kind of therapeutic support you are looking for and what treatment goals would address the issues that brought you to therapy.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I feel my greatest strength as a clinician is helping you feel safe being your authentic self - the good, the bad, and everything in between - so that we can do the hard work together without fear of judgement or rejection. My past experience helping individuals dealing with addiction and mental illness to navigate their lowest moments, heal significant traumas and loss, and rebuild their lives has given me tremendous respect for the resilience and capacity for growth that all people have, regardless of where they are starting on this journey.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with young adult and adult clients looking for help navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, codependency and adult children of dysfunctional family systems issues, building confidence and self-esteem, and depression. Whether it is a client's first time in therapy or they are returning to therapy, I work best with clients who are eager for healing, looking to better know and understand themselves, and who want to learn how to feel capable and confident in their ability to navigate life as it presents itself.

My treatment methods
Eclectic
Eclectic therapy allow us to draw tools from many different therapeutic approaches to meet and adapt to clients' specific needs. This may span CBT, Mindfulness-Based approaches, Person-Centered care, Trauma-Informed care, Applied Polyvagal Theory, DBT, and ACT.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is used to help gain awareness of and change the unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to suffering.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-based therapy is based in practices of meditation, non-judgemental awareness, breathwork, and engaging the observer-self to help create feelings of centeredness from which clients can better understand their own experiences, and ultimately choose how to interpret and respond to those understandings.
Trauma Informed Care
Trauma-informed care is based on approaching client needs following the principles of safety, trustworthiness and transparency, peer support, collaboration and mutuality, empowerment and choice, and humility. Trauma-informed care recognizes the wide-ranging impacts that trauma can have on individuals, and focusing on healing with this in mind.
