Sarah Novak
I earned a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I am a DBT Therapist with training in art and trauma therapies as well. I have worked in a variety of settings, including inpatient and residential treatment, probation, and family focus/supervised and therapeutic visitation.
Having worked with young professionals for the past 8 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
I began my first field internship at just 16 years old.
