Hi there, I am Sarah. I work with adolescents and young adults who are looking for support with mental health concerns that are affecting daily life, relationships, school, work, or overall well-being. Many of my clients come to me with symptoms of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, insomnia, or other psychiatric conditions. Some are looking for answers and an initial diagnosis, while others want ongoing medication management and support to help them feel more stable and confident. No matter where you are in your journey, I am here to help.

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I regularly work with individuals facing a variety of life's diverse challenges including anxiety/ panic, family-of-origin concerns, depression, maternal mental health, transition to parenthood, trauma, grief/ loss, sexual issues, and career related concerns. I also have a specialization in sex and relationship therapy.

My clients are often seeking a combination of clarity, coping skills, and in general -- more ease and happiness in their daily life. I also have a unique specialization in "relationship therapy for one" where we unpack what might be keeping you stuck or unhappy when it comes to your overall relationship health/ satisfaction.

I have been a licensed therapist for over a decade and received my training at state of the art educational institutes including Syracuse University and other hospital and outpatient centers across NY and Manhattan. I have also sought out ongoing participation in professional clinical consultation groups with some of the most influential therapists and thought leaders of our time. These varied and diverse professional training experiences enable me to provide the best possible care to each client I serve. In addition, I also provide training and mentorship for new therapists looking to specialize in sex and relationship health.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Syracuse, NY

Searching for addiction therapists in Syracuse starts with finding care that fits the kind of support you need. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, chemical dependency, compulsive behaviors, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for training in approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or relapse prevention. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, so it can help to choose a therapist who can coordinate with other healthcare professionals when needed.

In a smaller city like Syracuse, the number of local addiction therapists may vary by location, schedule, and specialty. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still giving you access to licensed therapists in New York. As you narrow your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and has experience with nonjudgmental, harm reduction-informed care. Reading therapist bios can help you see how they describe their approach, what addiction-related concerns they list, and whether their communication style feels like a practical fit.

Addiction therapy in Syracuse can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you compare addiction therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from in-person or virtual appointments. You can browse therapists, read bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
