Sadie Lipman LMHC

In our initial work together, we will take some time to explore your history and the presenting difficulties you are experiencing. I want to first and foremost encourage a safe space where you feel heard. I believe in having the foundational structure of a treatment plan to make sure we are using the time in the most effective way possible for YOU! I pride myself on staying up to date with the latest information in my field and can also provide plenty of resources and psychoeducation. I am passionate about decreasing gatekeeping and want to empower my clients with as much information as possible. I provide the roadmap, but you're the one who is in the driver's seat on this journey.

I am trained in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns to promote healthier behaviors and emotions. I am also skilled in Prolonged Exposure, a specialized therapy that addresses trauma and helps individuals gradually confront and process distressing memories. Additionally, I have training in Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy, a model that emphasizes building secure emotional bonds and fostering self-compassion. I work from a person-centered framework, meaning I operate on a case-by-case basis and will often pull tools from each of these therapies to tailor our sessions to what works best for you!
