Nice to meet you!
As a Mental Health Counselor I am deeply passionate about helping individuals heal, grow, and reach their full potential. My work is fueled by my strong belief that everyone has the capacity to create change in their lives. My specialties are:
· Anxiety
· Depression
· Addiction & recovery
· Stress Management
· Trauma and PTSD
· Faith based (Christian) counseling
I started my work with infants and young children, guided by a simple belief: when we understand the meaning behind behavior, everything in a family can begin to shift. I use play as a primary way to connect with children and understand their inner world. Through play, children express thoughts and feelings they may not yet have words for. By joining them in this space, I’m able to better understand their experiences and help them feel seen, supported, and safe.
My path to becoming a therapist began in children’s media, where I spent fifteen years project managing educational content. That experience shaped how I see children today—curious, expressive, and constantly communicating, even without words.
I went on to earn my Master’s degree from New York University, training at the Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy Center, where I deepened my understanding of how music and play can help children feel seen, regulated, and understood.
My clinical work has included early intervention, a specialized school for autistic children and young adults, and an elementary school supporting students with hearing loss and communication differences. Across these settings, I saw how powerful it is when a child is truly met where they are.
In 2023, I founded Sound Mind to create a more individualized, relationship-based practice—one where I can connect deeply and tailor my work to each child and family.
My name is Sara and I graduated from Adelphi in 2017 with my MSW. Shortly after I obtained my license and began to work in Queens in a hospital doing inpatient psychiatric social work. I have worked with all populations on each of our specialty units, including adolescents, young and older adults, and aging. I spent most of my time working with individuals aged 18-62 presenting with a multitude of acute crises. I range from working with individuals experience first-break symptoms, all through chronic and treatment resistant symptoms. I have also held supervisory and administrative roles, in which I provided direct supervision and guidance for other healthcare professionals, primarily social workers. I also specialize in family dynamics and counseling, as well as mediation.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Cedarhurst
Searching for therapists in Cedarhurst starts with knowing what kind of support you want from care. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach match what you want to address. Some therapists use cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed approaches, while others describe their style through the populations they work with or the structure of their sessions.
Cedarhurst is a smaller Long Island community, so local in-person options may vary by schedule, office location, and availability. Virtual therapy can expand your search across New York while still letting you see a therapist licensed in the state. You may also want to consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist profiles can help you understand how each person works, what they specialize in, and what a first session may include.
Therapy in Cedarhurst can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated price before booking. Headway makes it easier to compare therapists who match your needs, offer in-person or virtual care, and let you confirm whether your insurance is accepted before booking. You can browse profiles, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
