Getting to know Sarah Chernick

Hi! I'm Sarah Chernick, a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, and eating disorders/body image. I hold a Master's in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University and a Bachelor's degree from California State University, Chico. With over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, I've worked in a variety of settings to gain my clinical experience as a therapist. Studies have shown that therapy works best when you feel comfortable with your therapist. I strive to be open, relatable, and engaged, creating a space where you can truly be yourself. Having experienced my own mental health challenges and the benefits of therapy firsthand, I am passionate about helping others. I feel truly honored to support others on their mental health journey and provide a compassionate space for growth and healing.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Everyone’s journey is unique, and I believe therapy should be tailored to you. I’ll provide a supportive, judgment-free space where you can feel heard and respected. Using evidence-based therapy approaches, I’ll help you break free from unhelpful patterns and thoughts, and navigate life challenges with more ease and confidence. I’m here to listen, support, and challenge you in a way that helps you grow.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Clients can expect a warm, supportive space where they feel safe to explore their thoughts and emotions without judgment. My goal is to help you build self-awareness, challenge unhelpful patterns, and develop practical tools to manage anxiety, heal from trauma, and improve your relationship with yourself. Sessions are a mix of deep healing work and actionable strategies, so you’ll leave feeling heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes in your life.
