Hi! My name is Sarah, I'm a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist and community partner at Healing Reimagined. I've been providing trauma informed counseling in non-profits, sexual violence prevention programs, and long-term mental health & substance abuse treatment for the last 5 years. I primarily work with individuals who are navigating anxiety and life changes, folks who have been affected by interpersonal violence, addiction, or other traumas. My intention is to create a space that feels secure for folks to feel seen and heard for who they are, while moving through their own healing process.

Welcome! I am a Psychotherapist (in practice since 2010) and owner of Mindful Life Therapy LLC in Somerville, NJ. MLT (est. 2012) is a team of professional, compassionate, and skillful Clinicians.

In addition we work with individuals who are struggling with everyday issues and adjustments.

My guiding philosophy: Compassionate listening and thoughtful collaboration leading to positive change. My overall goal is to provide a supportive environment in which to help each client decrease psychological distress and improve life functioning. I have 20 years of broad clinical experience treating adult clients (ages 18 and above) with mild-moderate-severe concerns. My specialty areas include: adjustment difficulties to daily life stressors and to new transitions; anxiety -- including panic attacks, obsessions and compulsions, trauma, and phobias; depression and bipolar disorder; substance abuse/dependence; relationship issues; work problems; self-defeating behaviors; and stress management.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) in the state of New Jersey. I use evidence-based therapies and techniques in Motivational interviewing (MI) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I also incorporate client-centered and strength-based approaches to help and empower people, so that they can improve their quality of life. I have worked with a range of people from teenagers to adults/seniors with varying difficulties i.e. grief and loss, end of life issues, substance dependence/addiction, codependency, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, anger management, and self-esteem.

I have been providing mental health and substance abuse treatment for 23 years. By utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I assist my clients with exploration of their thoughts and feelings and how these impact behavior. I encourage my clients to explore their beliefs and world view and identify maladaptive coping skills. The goal is to develop a healthy lifestyle. Together we explore how each individual adopted his or her current lifestyle, what needs they were attempting to fulfill, and how and what they would like to change. Through the therapeutic relationship individuals become empowered to create a new life narrative.

Coping with depression, anxiety, addiction, or even just life stressors can at times feel overwhelming. It's like you are stuck in a cycle of pain and anguish, and your best efforts to deal with it end up making things worse. Maybe you have reached out to friends and family for help, and have been met with either criticism or well-intentioned, but unhelpful advice. You might have even read a self-help book or two, and struggled to use what you've learned for more than a couple weeks. Sometimes, even the efforts to change seem so difficult that you'll give up, convinced things will never get better. There is a better way.

I have over 30 years of experience managing and providing various mental health and addiction services. I have been responsible for the coordination of reentry services for individuals returning to the community from correctional settings and State/County psychiatric hospitals. These services include the supervision of individuals diagnosed with anxiety, depression, substance abuse disorders, Megan’s Law, domestic violence and other criminal offenses. In private practice I utilize evidenced-based approaches to provide services. These interventions include EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Brief Solution-Focused Therapy.

Reaching out for support can be uncomfortable but is often the first step in making change. Anxiety and depression can weigh heavily on our daily lives and impact our ability to feel joy. I will help you learn tools and skills to manage your emotions. I believe that you are the expert of your life and together we can find solutions to improve your mental health.

I am an experienced licensced clinical therapist providing counseling services to adults, adolescents & children. I will help give you the skills to improve your life and facilitate positive and effective changes. We will work together to understand and work through the issues. My work experience consists of providing individual, family & group therapy at Somerset Medical Center Outpatient Program (dual diagnosis) helping adults manage their illness. Also, was employed at Princeton Behavioral Health working with Trauma Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT & Process). I am currently seeing clients both in person and virtual.

I believe that each individual person is the expert on their own life and at times need support, safety, and guidance to navigate life’s challenges. Using collaboration, transparency, and trust in the therapeutic relationship, we allow for a supportive atmosphere for change to unfold. As a clinician, I aim to mold the therapeutic experience to be what each individual person needs to succeed. Through an integrative approach, my goal is to create a non-judgmental, empathic, understanding and honest space.

You may be feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, sad, unmotivated. Your relationship with your partner or your child feels like it's falling apart. Fear, addiction, disordered eating, insomnia, illness, or clutter is standing in the way of you leading the life you desire. You, or perhaps your child, is struggling with gender identity issues. Maybe you are a highly sensitive person and need a therapist with whom you can connect. We can work on helpful strategies to get you living a happier, healthier, and more satisfying life.

I am a warm and engaging therapist and strongly believe that each of us has the potential to live life to the fullest! Together, we will navagate the obstacles in your path to inspire you to achieve a deeper sense of purpose, peace, and joy in your life. Whether you are seeking extra support and guidance through a challenging time, looking to resolve painful issues, or wish to live a more self-empowered life, We will work collaboratively to encourage the devlelopment of clearer awareness, and mastery over your thoughts and feelings.

Making the decision to engage in psychotherapy is an important step in healing from traumatic life events that leave emotional wounds long into adulthood. My approach to working with individuals suffering from traumatic stress comes from an understanding that trauma is stored in the body. Often traditional talk therapy is ineffective until one learns how to calm the body’s heightened state of anxiety and therefore allowing the mind to focus on healing rather than survival. Substance abuse is often an effective but maladaptive coping strategy for the emotional and physical stress responses that linger long after the traumatic experience is over. I assist clients who struggle with substances to discover the connection between their substance use and their trauma symptoms, and to develop new strategies for recovery that start with the body.

At Stress Management Counseling, we want to assist you in significantly reducing and managing the stressors in your life, and help you develop the tools to restore happiness, satisfaction, and balance in all areas of your life. We will focus on your personal strengths to help you reach your desired goals. You can expect to take away valuable insights, strategies, and renewed hope from each and every session. HOURS: M-F 9-9 by appointment.

Now that you have taken the first step in seeking help, together we can take the second step towards addressing the presenting problem. Let’s develop a deeper understanding of yourself through recognizing & understanding patterns that may be causing you emotional distress. Let's explore the thought-emotion-behavior connection so that you can rewrite the narrative, improve your emotional state, change your behavioral response, & improve upon coping skills. Therapeutic interventions include the evidence-based practices of: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (Certified CBT Practitioner) and Motivational Interviewing.

Far too often we are weighed down by heavy emotions; intrusive thoughts and conditioned patterns. Through my varied experience I have been able to witness firsthand--that even in the most dire circumstances positive change is possible. My philosophy is to provide you with patience; positivity and pragmatism while varying the therapeutic approach to fit your current needs. To foster motivation and facilitate insight, I utilize a combination of strength-based techniques. I also believe in the significance of incorporating your interests and creativity (e.g. art, music, theatre and humor) into sessions.
