Sarah Escalante LCSW

My work with people has brought about an appreciation for the human experience and has deepened my desire to provide everyone with a space to be seen. I have been fortunate enough to work with people of all ages, and it has taught me that when given the opportunity, each person is able to step into the best version of themselves even when their circumstances are difficult. At the core of our being, we all long to be connected, whether that is with others in relationships or with ourselves.

To accomplish meaningful change, I take a collaborative approach with my clients, helping them to discover their strengths and instilling hope early on. Together, we create goals that are specific, attainable, and measurable so that you will be able to recognize your progress within our work.

A trusting therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors within treatment. I strive to be a therapist you genuinely like and get along with, who’s knowledge you trust, who inspires growth, and who works courageously and compassionately to support your goals.
