What patients are saying

Overall rating

“Sara was very warm, thoughtful, and caring. She took her time to explain the setup and check-in continuously throughout the call. Although this was our first session and it's structured to be an intake session, it didn't feel that way (in the best way possible) and I felt like I was sharing valuable, relevant information about myself and given tactics to take away to work on!”

Getting to know Sara Paz

Hello! I'm Sara Paz, a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed mental health counselor in the state of New York. I truly enjoy journeying with clients from different walks of life to help them experience healing within a safe, empathic, and nonjudgmental space. I believe everyone is valuable, unique, has a purpose, and deserves to be heard and truly seen. I specialize in addressing anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues. Through my work, I embrace a person-centered, holistic, and humanistic approach to therapy. I aim to work with my clients to gain awareness and insight, feel validated, nurture their sense of hope, and feel empowered to lead a meaningful life. In working with clients and their unique individual needs, I draw from different therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Strengths-Based Therapy. I use evidence-based practices to explore underlying negative factors affecting my clients' growth and help them see new perspectives. I have spent the last four years working in community mental health, which has provided me with invaluable experience addressing a variety of mental health struggles and meeting clients from multicultural backgrounds. I earned my degrees from Nyack College and Alliance University, where I completed my Master's in Mental Health Counseling. I am also a national board certified counselor (NCC). In my free time, I love listening to music (I enjoy a variety of musical styles but have a soft spot for classical, jazz, and Colombian folklore), spending time with my family, watching movies, trying out new recipes, and traveling. I am honored to work with each and every one of my clients and provide my services to be of assistance.

I did not think this process would be this complicated. Too many memories come to mind that I do not want to remember.
