I received my Bachelor’s in Social Work from Oakland University and my Master’s in Social Work from Madonna University. I have been a practicing social worker for four years, and during this time have received several certifications including: school social work, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools. Based on my experience, I specialize in working with adolescents and children; however, I am confident in my education and ability to help clients of all ages.

I believe that therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free space where you can be yourself without feeling pressured to have everything figured out.

As a bilingual therapist fluent in English and Spanish, I strive to provide culturally responsive, evidence-based care that meets you where you are. I value authenticity, collaboration, and practical strategies that you can apply in your everyday life. Rather than telling you what to do, I will work alongside you to help you better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and develop the confidence to navigate life's challenges.

I know that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, and I consider it a privilege to be part of your journey. My hope is that you leave each session feeling understood, empowered, and equipped with tools to help you create the balanced and fulfilling life you deserve.

Hi, I’m Sarah Kuretzky, a Licensed Professional Counselor with graduate training in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling. I work with individuals, couples, and families using a trauma-informed, compassionate, and practical approach. I specialize in anxiety, trauma responses, relationship patterns, emotional regulation, body image, women’s health issues, hormone-related mood changes, sexual dysfunction, parenting stress, and life transitions. My style is collaborative and direct, helping clients reduce shame, build insight, regulate emotions, communicate more clearly, and create meaningful change.

I work with mothers who are overwhelmed, burnt-out, or tired of juggling it all. For some, the intensity of motherhood brings up difficult emotions or unprocessed parts of their past. Others feel lost under the burden of care-taking and managing the mental load. With compassion and skill, we’ll tend to the parts of you that have been neglected. We’ll develop strategies for prioritizing your needs. We’ll make space for your brilliant light to shine once again!

Healing is possible, and you don't have to face it alone.

I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), two highly effective, evidence-based approaches for overcoming trauma, anxiety, and distressing life experiences.

I offer a judgment-free space where we can work together toward your mental health goals. In our work, we will not just talk through the problems, concerns, or challenges bringing you to therapy. We will also focus on practical tools that can help change how you experience those situations and support you in moving toward a healthier version of yourself. I use a blend of evidence-based treatment approaches that I tailor to each client’s unique needs and goals.

I earned my LMSW from Grand Valley State University and have 17 years of experience across a wide range of mental health settings, including outpatient care, the emergency department, inpatient treatment, and partial hospitalization, along with many other levels of care in between.

Clients can expect me to meet them where they are while being empowering, transparent, direct, and focused on helping them reach their treatment goals.
