Getting to know Sara Suman
Hi there, I'm Sara!
I am a Social Worker with 14 years of experience and began clinical social work practice eight years ago. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Columbia University and am licensed in both New York and California. I have extensive training and experience in treating Substance Use Disorders, Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, and other mood-related issues.
I take a somatic approach to psychotherapy, drawing on my training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. We source the wisdom of the body to understand how the past might be intruding in your life now-not to dwell on it, but so you can leave it behind and be free to live your life fully in the present. I utilize a harm reduction approach, supporting you in making decisions about your goals for substance use and other behaviors-whether that means completely stopping a behavior or reducing it.
I work with clients who have suffered at the hands of their primary caregivers, leading to trauma and/or attachment wounding. I also support clients who want to address coping behaviors, such as substance use, that no longer serve them.
I use a warm, interpersonal approach. Together, we co-create a space to talk about and process your concerns. We'll work collaboratively to help you build on your ability to cope with life and rediscover enjoyment.
