Great to meet you!

I'm Sarah Woodworth, an LCSW with an MSW from the University at Buffalo School of Social Work, offering telehealth therapy throughout New York to children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. I specialize in trauma, PTSD, family issues, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, maternal mental health, domestic violence, and more. My practice is grounded in evidence-based therapies — including EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, and a rich family systems toolkit — always tailored to your unique situation and goals. I don't just listen; I truly hear you.

My approach to therapy

I draw from a wide range of evidence-based modalities — always guided by what actually works for you. For trauma and PTSD: EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Cognitive Behavioral Conjoint Therapy for PTSD. For emotional depth and regulation: EFT, MBCT, ACT, and Psychodynamic therapy. For family-focused work: Structural Family Therapy, Multidimensional Family Therapy, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), and Narrative Therapy. For practical change: CBT, SFBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Strength-Based approaches. Whatever brings you here — we'll find the approach that fits your life and your goals.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is focused on getting to know you. I'll ask about what's bringing you to therapy, relevant history, and what you're hoping to achieve. There's no pressure to share more than you're ready to — this is your space. Together, we'll start building a plan that feels right for where you are right now.
