This is your journey - you’re driving, I’m sitting in the passenger seat to provide some direction when needed. Therapy is whatever you want it to be and I’m here for it! It’s not about my agenda or what I think you should work on. Just showing up for a session in an authentic way is productive. I have experience working in both inpatient and outpatient settings with individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds with a wide variety of issues including anxiety, mood disorders, personality disorders, and psychosis as well as interpersonal and relationship issues.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, lonely, or uncertain? You don't have to face life's challenges on your own. I provide a supportive, compassionate space where we can work together to help you better understand your experiences, develop effective coping strategies, and move toward greater balance and well-being.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, work-related stress, identity exploration, health challenges, family conflict, or relationship concerns, I offer an empathetic, inclusive approach tailored to your unique needs. Together, we'll address challenges in your relationships—with partners, spouses, family members, friends, or colleagues—as well as the demands of caregiving for children, loved ones, or aging parents.

I welcome individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds, including clients of all genders, ethnicities, races, and LGBTQ+ identities.

All therapy sessions are offered virtually, providing convenient, confidential care from the comfort of your own home.

You deserve a place where you feel heard, understood, and supported. If you're ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can work toward healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life.

I specialize in helping individuals cope with the profound emotional and psychological impact that these experiences bring.

Sarah Silverman

Therapist

Virtual • Bethlehem, PA


I believe therapy should be a safe space for you to work towards your goals, without any judgment. Rather than feeling alone, a therapist should assist you on your journey to build the life you have envisioned, while understanding that you are the expert in your own life. I will be that therapist for you. I am passionate about assisting others to understand how their past impacts their current, in order to move forward to their future. I have experience working with those who have experienced trauma, endure the daily challenges of depression, anxiety, ADHD, and borderline personality disorder, and/or deal with LGBTQ+ issues.
