Sarah Stone, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
I specialize in helping young adults navigate the complex transition into adulthood. Many people in their 20s and early 30s feel overwhelmed by career decisions, relationship challenges, family expectations, and uncertainty about the future. My goal is to provide a supportive space where clients can explore these challenges, better understand themselves, and develop practical strategies for growth. My approach to therapy is collaborative and strengths-focused. I believe clients are the experts on their own experiences, and therapy works best when we work together to identify patterns, clarify values, and build skills that support meaningful change. I integrate evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care tailored to each individual’s needs. I have over 14 years of experience supporting young adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, and questions around identity and independence. My goal is to help clients develop clarity, resilience, and confidence as they move forward in their lives.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Many traditional therapy approaches treat young adults like teenagers or expect them to function as fully established adults. I focus specifically on the unique developmental stage of emerging adulthood and the challenges that come with it. Clients often come to me when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about the direction of their life. Together we focus on understanding patterns, strengthening resilience, and creating meaningful change that aligns with each client’s values and goals. My practice prioritizes: • A collaborative therapy relationship • Practical, evidence-based approaches • Understanding the unique challenges of young adulthood • Flexible telehealth sessions that fit busy schedules

What is your typical process for working with clients?

The first session is focused on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. We will talk about your current concerns, your goals for therapy, and your background so we can begin developing a plan that feels meaningful and realistic. My goal is to create a comfortable and non-judgmental space where you can speak openly. We will move at a pace that feels right for you and begin identifying areas where therapy can support you most. Many clients say they leave the first session feeling clearer about their challenges and hopeful about the path forward. I work with young adults experiencing: Anxiety and chronic stress Depression and low motivation Relationship and dating challenges Life transitions and identity development Career stress and imposter syndrome Family boundary difficulties ADHD and neurodivergence Autism evaluations and support Many clients are navigating the pressures of early adulthood, including career uncertainty, social comparison, financial stress, and major life decisions. Therapy can help build insight, emotional regulation skills, and confidence during this stage of life.
