“Sarah was an excellent therapist. She was thoughtful and patient but guided us forward to ensure we got the most out of our sessions.”

“I just ended long-term therapy with Sarah and can say I feel my life has truly transformed through this process. I had some long-standing patterns that were no longer serving me and, with Sarah's help, was able to gain greater understanding into how they developed and where they came from. Gradually, over time, I was to shift those behaviors, choices, and dynamics so that my relationships and life choices better fit with the life that I really wanted to live.”

Getting to know Sarah Meckler
I will work collaboratively with you to analyze areas you would like to improve, while helping you manage stress, clarify goals, and modify unwanted patterns of behavior. I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma, and life transitions. I am also experienced in working with the LGBTQIA community, people in "non-traditional relationships," young adults, and adolescents.
I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Social Work from New York University and have received advanced training in Interpersonal Psychodynamic Psychotherapy at the William Alanson White Institute.
Please note I am not in-network with any insurance carrier, but I do accept any insurance with out-of-network benefits.
Caring, warm, and non-judgmental, I start by truly listening to understand your concerns. Together, we will develop an approach that fits your needs. I am here to support and guide you through your journey to enhance your life. We will work together to understand your life more fully so that you are better able to live the life you want to live.
Please note if you have had a psychiatric hospitalization or suicide attempt within the last five years or struggle with substance abuse, this would not be the appropriate setting for you.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I have over 20 years experience in the mental health field. I specialize in helping people identify what is holding them back and how to move toward what they want in life. My focus is on creating a safe, open-minded, and welcoming environment for all along the path toward self-discovery.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I enjoy working with people who have a curiosity about how their personal, familial, and cultural history effects their present lives. Together, we look at this closely in order to gain insight into why they do what they do, so that they are able to open up to a greater sense of inner freedom and ability to live a more fulfilled life.
Sarah Meckler, LCSW is not in-network with any insurances
It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $225 for 45 minutes
Ongoing session: $225 for 45 minutes
- 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
More information on payments and coverage
I accept any insurance that has out of network benefits, usually indicated as a PPO plan. If you are unsure if you have out of network benefits, you can call you insurance carrier and ask them. I will submit the claims for you. Once your deductible is met, you will only pay the portion that is not covered by insurance. That amount differs based on your plan. You can get an estimate of that amount by calling your insurance carrier. I can also assist in obtaining that information if needed.

Sarah is a very kind and welcoming therapist. I’ve never been to therapy before and was nervous about the whole idea but Sarah put me at ease right away. I’m making a lot of progress with her help. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
