Hi! My name is Sarah Swensen, and I am a warm, down-to-earth Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about helping clients address low self esteem, navigate difficult relationships, family challenges and grief. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Rutgers University and have over 14 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of helping people work through challenging experiences, better understand themselves, and find ways to move forward. My ultimate goal as your therapist is for you to feel truly heard, supported, and understood. I’m here to help you feel empowered and confident in making choices that are right for you—not to tell you what you should do, but to provide a safe space where we can work through things together.

I know that starting therapy can feel a little uncomfortable, especially if you are used to being the one who holds everything together. My goal is to make the process feel welcoming, supportive, and real. I want you to feel like you can come in, take a breath, and be yourself. I work with adults who are navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and the emotional weight that can come from difficult experiences. My approach is warm, honest, and collaborative. We will talk through what is going on, make sense of the patterns that may be getting in your way, and work toward changes that feel realistic for your life. I do not believe therapy has to feel stiff or overly clinical. There is room for reflection, hard conversations, growth, and yes, even laughter. You do not have to have the perfect words or a clear plan before you begin. Just come as you are, and we can take it from there... together.

I believe therapy should feel like a safe place where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. My approach is warm, genuine, and collaborative. I use approaches such as EMDR, DBT, and psychodynamic therapy to help clients process difficult experiences, understand patterns, develop healthier coping skills, and build a stronger sense of self. Most importantly, I want my clients to know they don’t have to navigate everything alone. My goal is to walk alongside you, provide a space where you feel truly heard and understood, and help you recognize your own strengths while working toward the life you want.

"We don't have to do it all alone; we were never meant to." – Brené Brown This belief is at the heart of my work as a therapist. I am passionate about walking alongside my clients as a team, helping them navigate challenges and achieve their goals. Many people share things with me that they have never shared with anyone else, which is why I believe that trust and the therapeutic relationship are the most important foundations of therapy. I work with individuals ages 10 to 55 and have experience supporting both individuals and families. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Attachment, Self-Regulation and Competency (ARC), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) and Motivational Interviewing (MI). My specialty is working with teens and young adults, as I believe this transitional period is critical for personal growth and reaching one’s full potential. Before becoming a therapist, I served as a firefighter and first responder for over a decade, including combat firefighting tours in Iraq. This background has shaped my deep commitment to resilience, healing, and supporting others through life’s most challenging moments.

My specialty and experience aligns most with helping ages 18-65 with various life situations and I also see first responders and veterans.

My goal is to meet you where you are, help you better understand yourself and your experiences, and develop tools to navigate challenges while moving forward with greater clarity, balance, self-compassion, and confidence.

I have one main intention for all clients with whom I work and that is to reduce suffering. Suffering takes a lot of forms, from struggling with discernment, overwhelm, thoughts that cycle and cycle and cycle throughout our minds...grief of something we've had or something we want to have -- and so much more. My approach to treatment is down-to-earth, nonjudgmental, and compassionate; and is leveraged with a sense of practicality and directiveness.

Since 1999 I have worked with individuals, couples, children and families, suffering from depression, anxiety, anger, grief, shame, and trauma. Let's get you back to living your best life.

I believe in the importance of treating the whole person: body, mind, spirit. My approach is empowering you to make your own decisions, to help you set your own goals and to walk with you on your journey to health. I specialize in women's issues: self image, hormonal changes, sexual issues including desire issues, pain and trauma. Other issues addressed both male and female: relationships, anxiety, depression, grief & loss. I want to partner with you on your journey to mental health and wellness.
