Sarah Skawinski, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CT
Hi, I'm Sarah. Do you or your child ever feel like emotions are big scary monsters hiding in your closet, just waiting to come out and ruin your day? Do you feel like the rest of the world is seamlessly handling their days while you are running on empty to do the bare minimum? Is it challenging to treat yourself with compassion? I help adolescents and young adults manage their anxiety and depression in an effort to create a life where they are thriving rather than just surviving. Together, we can learn what your triggers and symptoms are and how to manage them in a way that makes you feel back in control. Through a holistic approach, we will address the needs of your mind, body, and spirit. I also utilize creative outlets to help you think outside the box and view your situation from a different perspective. Whether you are dealing with the stress of school, relationship issues, cycles of anxiety and depression, or trauma, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can be a scary first step, but it is also a brave one. You deserve a safe space to heal, grow, and learn practical self-care to promote long-term happiness. Let's work together! I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Connecticut, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to support you on your journey.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My biggest strength is my ability to make therapy feel natural rather than a series of questions and answers. I have been working with adolescents since 2018 and have learned the importance of making them feel that they are my main focus. I pride myself on being intuitive to my client's feelings and receptive to their body language and other nonverbal cues in order to know when I am able to push them further vs meeting them where they are at.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
