Sarah Baird
I have a Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology and Art Therapy from the Adler School of Professional Psychology in Chicago, and I am proud to hold the title of Registered Art Therapist (ATR). Additionally, I am a Licensed Mental Health Clinician in the state of Indiana (LMHC), and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). Since 2005, I have worked in a variety of settings including a Chicago hospital, an adolescent residential facility, a community mental health clinic, and a private practice.
First session
If you become my client, we will spend the first few sessions getting comfortable with each other, and creating a treatment plan that is individually tailored to suit your needs. I welcome questions and feedback during the session in order to make the therapy experience right for you.
Strengths
I believe that everyone deserves relief from emotional distress so that they can better manage their lives, participate in their community, and achieve their hopes and dreams. I also believe that people are much more than their diagnoses; both our minds and our bodies send us information to help us heal. I enjoy working with clients on whole person care by integrating physical health (diet, sleep, exercise) with a variety of therapeutic styles in order to meet a client where they are at in their journey of healing.
Ideal clients
I specialize in working with neurodivergent clients (ADHD, ASD) and clients experiencing chronic pain or health issues (and anxiety or depression related to the health issues).
