Sarah has specialized in working with young children and adolescents throughout her career, supporting clients with ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, trauma, disruptive behaviors, LGBTQ+ identity development, and the many life transitions that shape childhood and adolescence including school challenges, peer conflicts, and family changes such as divorce. Sarah is trained in evidence-based practices, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and parent management training (PMT). She’s worked in foster care and private practice, with young adults down to toddlers, providing diagnostic evaluations, individual therapy, parent coaching, and collaborative care with schools and community providers. What grounds Sarah most in her work is a passion for helping kids feel seen and heard. She believes that young people often carry more than adults realize and, in today’s world, they are navigating pressures and complexities that can feel overwhelming. ## Professional Summary - **Education: ** - Masters in Mental Health Counseling Counseling (MS), SUNY New Paltz - Bachelor of Science in Psychology (BS),  SUNY New Paltz - **Therapeutic approaches and certification(s)**: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), parent management therapy (PMT) - **License Type(s):** Licensed Mental Health Counselor - Diagnostic Privilege (LMHC-D) - **States where clinician is licensed:** Florida Telehealth (TPMC5708), New York (013913) - **Experience** - Intake Coordinator & Clinical Therapist; Heartshare St. Vincent Services - Supervisor & Clinical Therapist; Expressive Connections PLLC - **Training** - Intern; Children’s Home of Poughkeepsie ![What To Expect Illustration](https://images.ctfassets.net/96gdpqkm7elu/7px8Nof5sqVga9rBTDSBnV/126b088fb735c145dae71a2326ff0414/What_To_Expect.svg) ## In-person care in Brooklyn.

Brightline therapists have earned their master’s degree in social work, psychology, marriage and family therapy, or counseling. They are independently licensed. They are qualified to do therapy and diagnostic evaluations (when they have their diagnostic privilege credential for some license types). Therapists do not prescribe medication, but they are able to directly refer families who need that service to a Brightline psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner. ## Join our clinical team If you are a New York-based clinician who wants to love where you work, you belong at Brightline.
