“I was very pleased at how quickly Sarah Schuster MA understood my concerns and addressed them. Without going into specifics, my situation is somewhat unusual, and she was able to switch gears from what I assume would be her usual way of conducting a first session to make it more tailored for my needs. I’m very encouraged by the insights I gained from today’s session and look forward to working with Sarah in the future.”

Getting to know Sarah Schuster
About Me
I graduated from Hunter College with a Master's in Mental Health Counseling. Before pursuing a career in counseling, I worked as an attorney in private practice for eight years. I earned my undergraduate degree from Brown University and my law degree from NYU.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I specialize in working with adults of all ages struggling with anxiety, depression, workplace trauma, burnout, relationship challenges, and low self-esteem. I am also passionate about reducing the stigma and barriers to access surrounding mental health care.
As a former attorney in private practice for many years, I decided to pursue a Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling after witnessing the mental health crisis in my field. I have always enjoyed empathic engagement and felt that my understanding of high-stress professional environments would allow me to connect with many of the individuals seeking support in the NYC area.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I believe every individual is unique but that no one should feel the need to struggle alone. My goal is to help clients develop a better understanding of themselves and make meaningful changes in their lives. I embrace an integrative therapeutic approach, incorporating aspects of person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and existentialist therapies to create an individually tailored process for every client.
