Getting to know Sara Black

Hi there, I'm Sara! I offer an interactive and genuinely collaborative space. You will find me to be straightforward and easy to talk to. I'm happy to schedule a consultation to chat about your needs and expectations, and whether I might be a good match to support your journey toward greater well-being. My approach My approach is holistic, drawing insight from the biological, psychological and social factors in your life. I rely on a combination of evidence-based cognitive tools, body awareness (somatic work) and Mindfulness-based techniques to build more helpful, flexible ways of responding to thoughts and feelings. We'll work together to find the best fit. My focus I specialize in working with teens and young adults with anxiety, panic, OCD, ADHD, trauma. Some choose to focus on understanding their triggers and learning strategies to gain control over their symptoms. Others choose to explore underlying issues to understand the root causes, developmental impact, and core beliefs that maintain distress. My communication style I bring my authentic self to sessions, and aim to create a safe and inviting space for you to do the same. I'm adept at helping put words and context to feelings and experiences, and flexing toward what is important in the moment. I may encourage you to settle into quiet reflection or challenge you when you need a little push. My journey to mental healthcare I spent 30 years leading programs serving individuals with I/DD, behavioral, and mental health challenges, deeply invested in amplifying diverse voices. I honed my assessment skills and clinical intuition. I bring this trauma-informed, diversity-affirming experience and expertise into sessions with clients. My goals for you First and foremost, I will make sure you feel safe, seen and respected. I will ask for feedback to be sure we are staying attuned. I will provide feedback, practical tools and exercises to help you explore.
