Hello! I'm Sara Gaertner and I've been working as a therapist for nearly 10 years. I am trained as a social worker and take a person-in-environment approach to therapy. This means that I want to understand the many aspects of your life and how they impact you in order to help you improve your quality of life. I worked in a state prison for 7.5 years which exposed me to a wide variety of human experiences and taught me that healing can be found in even the worst of situations.

I am passionate about working with many different people, from all walks of life who experience the daily struggles of anxiety, depression, adjusting to life, or using drugs/alcohol.
I know life can throw out punches like Muhammad Ali, leaving you feeling drained, overwhelmed, unfulfilled and not wanting to get up for the next round. The daily feeling of worry, tension, self doubt, negative thoughts, make it hard to relax and enjoy the present moment. The deep sense of sadness and loss of interest in the things you used to enjoy feel so heavy. Reaching out can feel overwhelming, uncomfortable and just so damn scary. You are not alone. I am here.

Anxiety Therapists
What are the most common treatments for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
