Sara Pasternak

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I know what it's like to struggle and please know that it DOES get better! In my early 20's I battled anxiety and made a vow to learn how to manage these symptoms and help others manage them too! I went back to school at Columbia University where I learned as much as I could about how to effectively treat mental health conditions and personal challenges. I understand both professionally AND personally how challenging life can be and believe fully in the healing power of a therapeutic relationship!
