Getting to know Sara Sebastian
Looking for an ADHD evaluation or help with your symptoms? My goal is to be a lantern in the dark when you're unsure where to go next. I provide non-judgmental, growth-oriented counseling and coaching for adults and teens with ADHD. I also offer neurodivergent-friendly clinical supervision for future LCSWs and consulting for clinical professionals treating ADHD clients. I use an integrative approach to therapy, blending techniques from ACT, CBT, and DBT. Sessions focus on understanding the biological basis of your symptoms, finding solutions for your challenges, and addressing issues like emotional amplitude and low motivation.
I hold a Master's in Social Work from The University of Texas at San Antonio and have an expert-level understanding of ADHD symptoms, along with creative ideas for how to treat them. Together, we will create collaborative approaches that work with your neurodivergence.
I love your ADHD brain, and I want you to love it, too! Let's help you thrive, not just survive.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I specialize in treating ADHD and related issues, such as sleep disorders, trauma, OCD, anxiety, and depression. Together, we will build skills to manage common symptoms, such as procrastination, organizing your life, managing motivation, and regulating emotion.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My goal is for you to leave each session feeling like you have a plan for working on your goals. Most of my clients have already tried changing their intrusive thoughts and emotions on their own or with another therapist, often without much success. I use a blend of ACT and CBT-based techniques, designed to help you transform your relationship with challenging thoughts and feelings for good.

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $150 for 80 minutes
Ongoing session: $125 for 60 minutes
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
