Hi there and welcome. Congratulations on taking this step for you. My name is Sarah and I am a therapist. About me: I have a Masters degree in Clinical Social Work from Columbia University. I am bilingual in Spanish and English and have extensive experience working with childhood trauma (sexual, physical, emotional abuse and neglect). I am also well versed in treating anxiety disorders (generalized, social, phobias, and OCD). I am trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and utilize a Psychodynamic and ACT centered approach. When behaviors need to be targeted, I utilize Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy and habit reversal principles.
I bring over 15 years of experience working with children, families, and schools to help people understand their emotions, strengthen relationships, and build the tools they need to thrive. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that we all do the best we can with the tools we have—and that with the right support, we can grow and heal.
I have over 30 years of experience in psychiatric social work and work part-time as a college lecturer. I like to think that therapy provides HOPE: Healing Opportunities for Personal Empowerment.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Syracuse
Finding a postpartum therapist in Syracuse starts with identifying the type of support you need. Postpartum depression and anxiety can look different from person to person — some parents experience persistent sadness or difficulty bonding, while others notice racing thoughts, irritability, or changes in sleep and appetite. A licensed provider who specializes in perinatal mental health can help you understand what you're experiencing and work with you on a plan that fits your situation.
When choosing a provider, consider their experience with postpartum and maternal mental health, the type of therapy they practice, and whether they offer virtual or in-person sessions. Reading a provider's bio before booking can give you a sense of their approach and what to expect. A free phone consultation is another way to see if a provider feels like the right match before committing to a full session.
Therapy in Syracuse can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit — making it easier to find a postpartum specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
