Sarah Rubin
I am an LCSW who offers telehealth therapy for teens and adults. I help people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship stress, identity questions, and big life changes. My previous experience included work with children and adults with Autism and ADHD, inpatient counseling, military life, aging, grief, caregiving, LGBTQ+, and parenting. My goal is to empower you with the skills you need to move forward in life and to work through past events that hold you back.
First session
In our work together, we will talk about what has been going on, what has or has not helped, and what you want to work toward. We will talk about goals without the pressure to have all the answers right away.
Strengths
My approach to therapy is client centered and practical. I use CBT, EMDR, and trauma-informed therapy to help you understand patterns, build coping skills, and take realistic next steps.
Ideal clients
A dream client would be an individual that is open to communicate needs, engaged in therapy, willing to collaborate, and to be honest with issues. These issues can include Autism and ADHD, crisis, military life, aging, death and dying, loss, caring for others, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, manic episodes, trauma, stress, identity, life transitions, communication, emotional distress, relationships, anger, and burnout.
