“My 18-year-old daughter was depressed, so I searched for a therapist on Zocdoc and met Ms. Sarah. She has taken only the first session, so I don't know for sure, but she seemed to like Ms. Sarah, so we decided to have regular sessions. I believe that Ms. Sarah will help my daughter recover from her depression.”

Getting to know Sarah Abuassi
*Hi, We will be emailing you our intake forms via our system 'Simple Practice'. Please check your email and complete them prior to your appointment. Thank you.*
I have a background in Psychology with a focus on psychoanalytics. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Touro University California and a Bachelor’s degree from Brooklyn College. I work with individuals to help manage anxiety, depression, as well as conflicts in family and romantic relationships. I also have an extensive background in working with the LGBTQ+ community. I am a Muslim Queens native and cat mom.
With a client-centered approach, I ensure the space we create together suits your needs to reach your goals. I use techniques from CBT, DBT, and existential theories to help you navigate your journey and build a safer, more fulfilling life. Taking the next step can be difficult, but you’re already halfway there.

My goal is to connect you to not only yourself, but to the world around you. Sometimes, it can feel as though we are too small to create change within ourselves and our environment, but I'm here to challenge that.
By incorporating different therapies, such as art and talk therapy, you will get tools to explore yourself on a deeper level by practicing self-awareness and mindfulness, all while finding acceptance for the things you can and cannot change. This can seem difficult at first, but I'm hopeful that I can create the environment for you to experience this rewarding state of mind.

They never showed up. I called the office and it went to voicemail and I left a message but they never called back. Never got any follow-up from them over email or text about logging into the video call. I waited for over 20 minutes before giving up.

Saw her at another site; very empathetic and insightful. Loved the way she conducted sessions and taught me a lot about myself and my diagnosis.
