Do you avoid sharing your true feelings and hide who you really are? Do you cope with stress and burnout by checking out, burying your feelings or numbing yourself? Are you isolated, grieving, and disconnected? Are you confused about your purpose in life, who you are, or where you fit in the world? I am passionate about supporting young people to navigate issues of identity and transition, assisting people-pleasers and caretakers to live more authentically, and helping those who identify as highly-sensitive and neurodivergent cope with a world that isn’t designed for them.
I provide concrete support and tools that uncover unhelpful patterns, inspire new ways of thinking, and help reconnect you with yourself and others. I am here to accompany you on this journey with creativity, honesty, curiosity, and humor. Together we will learn and grow, uncover your unique strengths and gifts, and help create the life you desire.
Change can be scary and difficult, but the therapeutic relationship is a place to explore new possibilities in a warm, empowering, and safe environment. At www.highlandparktherapy.com/sarah-callender you can learn more about my specific skills, background, and approach. I look forward to meeting you!

My rescue dog is a Highly-Sensitive Pup who joins me for sessions. While not a trained service animal, his skills include giving kisses, showing you his toys (but not sharing them) and holding space for big emotions. He looks forward to meeting you!
