Getting to know Sarah Lynch
Every child deserves a strong start. Every mother deserves to feel seen. Every family deserves support, no matter how uniquely they're wired.
I am a Licensed Social Worker, Certified Autism-Informed Professional, and Certified Women's Mental Health Specialist with a deep commitment to the people who are too often overlooked: the little ones in those magical, critical early years; the mothers navigating the unexpected emotional terrain of new motherhood; and the families raising neurodiverse children who are simply trying to find their footing.
For the littlest clients (preschool-age children) it is essential to create a safe, playful, and nurturing space where big feelings can be explored and healthy foundations are built during the years that matter most.
For new and expecting mothers, my goal is to offer compassionate, specialized support through the postpartum journey, whether that looks like postpartum depression, anxiety, identity shifts, or simply feeling lost in a season no one prepared you for. You are not alone, and you don't have to figure this out by yourself.
For parents of neurodiverse children, I provide specialized parent coaching designed to help caregivers build confidence, deepen their understanding of their child's unique brain, and strengthen the connection at the heart of your family. As a Certified Autism-Informed Professional, I am passionate about neurodiverse-affirming care that honors and celebrates each child's individuality.
In addition to what is listed above, I work with clients across a wide range of needs including PTSD, trauma, abuse, depression, anxiety, life transitions, social struggles, family conflict, ADHD, postpartum struggles, parenting challenges, and behavioral concerns — guiding individuals from preschool through adulthood toward greater health and fulfillment.
I cannot wait to walk this journey with you and find peace and happiness!
What should a new client know about working with you?
My approach is always strengths-based, trauma-informed, and deeply individualized. I co-create a collaborative, open space where healing happens at your pace. With my specialized training in Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), I have a wide range of techniques and skills so we can find what works best as we take this step together.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
When working with children/teens, I like to have a virtual meeting with parents/caregivers/guardians beforehand. We will cover policies, procedures, and goals that you have for your child and family. This helps me to connect with your child in our first meeting, as well as helps me to develop a comprehensive treatment plan.
I review my treatment plans with all clients, including the children, so that everyone involved understands our goals and what we are working toward. It is important that our work together is seen as a collaborative process between myself and the child, as well as the parents, family system, and sometimes school system in order to set the child up for the best success.
When working with adults, I also review my treatment plans in the 3rd or 4th meeting so we can be a team working toward mutual goals. Although therapy is a safe space for listening, we have goals to reach in order to make change in your life, so I am an active participant in the therapy room with you.
