Sara Wickizer

Sara Wickizer

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I am a highly seasoned clinician with years of experience in both mental health care and substance use services. My professional journey began in the substance use field, sand a deep understanding of the co-occurring mental health challenges many individuals face.

My clinical experience includes providing outpatient individual therapy and supporting individuals experiencing acute psychosis in inpatient psychiatric settings. After gaining many years of clinical experience, I expanded into leadership roles, providing clinical supervision and program oversight while managing co-occurring programs across New Jersey. I am also passionate about building the next generation of clinicians and serve part-time as an adjunct professor. I earned my degrees from Rutgers University School of Social Work and Honors College, where I was a member of the Phi Alpha Honor Society and graduated summa cum laude.

I bring a diverse background and extensive knowledge to my clinical practice, having worked across a wide range of mental health and substance use settings. Over the years, I have gained experience with many different diagnoses, from anxiety and depression to trauma and co-occurring disorders. My expertise spans multiple evidence-based approaches, including ACT, CBT, DBT, SFT, trauma-informed care, person-centered therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and psychoanalytic techniques. This breadth allows me to tailor treatment to each individual’s unique needs, strengths, and goals, ensuring a personalized, effective, and compassionate approach to care.

Samuel Shin

Samuel Shin

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


You're an Asian man who desires authenticity, healing and transformation. My name is Samuel, and I help heart-centered, truth-seeking Asian men level up and become the best versions of themselves in their career, relationships and lives. Clients who work best with me have tried things like therapy, workshops, meditation, self-development, but haven't been able to crack the code on specific patterns that continue to sabotage one or two areas of their lives. After doing this for 15 years, I can confidently say that the work is simple, but not easy. It requires you to dive in, be vulnerable, and face things you haven't want to look at.
