Getting to know Sari Surkis

New patients welcome. I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy for adults and older adults navigating life’s complexities, including women experiencing menopause, older adult caregivers, and individuals moving through grief, health changes, or major life transitions. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or the emotional weight of caregiving and responsibility. As a behavioral therapist, I work collaboratively with you to set clear, meaningful goals and develop practical strategies that support real, lasting change. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where we build insight, strengthen coping skills, and help you feel more grounded, confident, and aligned in this stage of life. My approach blends curiosity, clarity, and compassion. I integrate CBT- and DBT-informed techniques within a humanistic, person-centered framework, tailoring our work to your unique needs and strengths. I have a particular interest in supporting clients who are focusing on weight management, nutrition, and overall well-being as they age—recognizing the strong connection between emotional health, habits, and physical wellness. With over 10 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I also bring more than 20 years of corporate experience, along with a background in accounting and technology management. This perspective allows me to deeply understand the pressures faced by professionals, caregivers, and those who are often relied upon by others. My experience as a clinical supervisor further informs my ability to guide clients with insight, structure, and practical tools. You don’t have to hold everything together on your own. If you’re feeling anxious, burned out, grieving, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, I offer steady, thoughtful support to help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
