"I believe all persons have the ability to resolve issues that are problematic for them. My job as a therapist is to help clients develop their strengths while at the same time, reduce unproductive behaviors that block movement towards resolution.

Hi, my name is Sarah Kushnir, I am a LCSW and have been working in mental health for the past decade. I believe in teaching skills to patients so they are well-equipped to be able to process their thoughts and feelings, to be able to thrive in their world. It is important to walk with the patient on their healing journey and allow them to be the guide for treatment.

My style is using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and discussing current stressors, identifying triggers and core beliefs that cause distortions, looking at what you can and cannot change, using Distress Tolerance and a Wise Mind as well as setting boundaries and using assertive communication. I also support clients who choose to use their faith as a coping tool and incorporate prayer and seeking guidance from a higher power if that is important to them. I assist clients in identifying resources in the community and other support systems to help them reach their goals.

Welcome to my page! Whether you're totally new to therapy and starting this process for the first time, or a self-exploration veteran, beginning with a new therapist can be both exciting and intimidating. I am here for you! My primary focuses of treatment include anxiety and depressive disorders; relationship distress, parent training, and exploration of gender, sexuality, culture, and other aspects of identity. I work with each client to help them gain the rich, fulfilling, and meaningful life that we all want.

My approach combines various modalities and I will utilize the style that best meets the needs of my client and then tailor the therapy as trust is built. While I am warm and empathetic, I will also challenge each client's belief system, as change will not occur without learning newer, positive ways of thinking. I believe this journey continues between sessions and I will often give "homework" when appropriate. I value the therapeutic relationship and believe that change will occur when a client feels safe, supported, and heard.
