Getting to know Sarah Sternlieb

Are you tired of feeling anxious or overwhelmed no matter what you do? Maybe painful memories keep coming back, certain situations bring up intense emotions, or relationships feel harder than you want them to. You may find yourself struggling with trust, vulnerability, or feeling close to other people. You know what happened in childhood is affecting your life now, and you’re tired of feeling anxious and overwhelmed and having the past affect so much of your life today. You want things to change. Imagine feeling less overwhelmed by the past and more able to enjoy the life you have now. Feeling more confident in yourself. Being able to get close to people without fear getting in the way. Having more room for the relationships, experiences, and future you want.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I use EMDR to help adults affected by childhood trauma, including complex trauma and PTSD stemming from childhood, change how those experiences are affecting their lives today. EMDR goes beyond talking about what happened by working with how those experiences are affecting your thoughts, emotions, body, and life today. Unlike traditional talk therapy, you won’t be expected to spend each session talking in detail about what happened to you. In fact, EMDR generally doesn’t require you to describe painful experiences in depth. Sessions may include learning more about how past experiences can affect your brain and body, building skills you can use outside of therapy, and paying attention to thoughts, emotions, memories, or body sensations that come up. You’ll be an active part of the process, and we’ll decide together what we focus on along the way.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I work with adults throughout Pennsylvania and Delaware, including Bryn Mawr, Wallingford, and Talleyville. We’ll start by getting to know each other and making sure it feels like a good fit. From there, we’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, what you want to change, and what you’d like your life to look like instead. As we move through EMDR therapy, we’ll look at what’s affecting you now and explore how earlier experiences may be connected. I’ll help you understand what may be happening in your brain and body, and we’ll build on the skills and resources you already have while developing new ones. There’s no rush to get anywhere. We’ll move at a pace that feels manageable while continuing to make meaningful progress toward the changes that brought you to therapy.
