Sarah Sayres, LCSW.
Founder and Therapist
Providing individual therapy to Young adults and Professionals across New York
How I show up in the work.
I approach therapy as a space to slow things down and get curious about what’s really going on beneath the surface.
My style is warm, direct, and grounded. I integrate CBT-informed tools with open conversation, reflection, and practical problem-solving. Some sessions are about gaining clarity. Others focus on building skills you can take into your daily life.
I don’t believe therapy needs to feel rigid or overly clinical to be effective. I care about creating a space where you feel comfortable being honest, asking questions, and exploring change at a pace that feels manageable.
Who I work best with.
I tend to work well with young adults and professionals who are thoughtful, motivated, and feeling stuck in ways they can’t quite explain.
Many of the people I work with are navigating anxiety, self-doubt, career or life transitions, or patterns in relationships that no longer feel sustainable. Often, they’re capable and high-functioning, but feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure how to take care of themselves in the midst of it all.
You don’t need to come in with a clear plan. We can figure things out together.
What clients often want support around.
I commonly work with concerns related to:
If you’re unsure whether what you’re dealing with fits neatly into a category, that’s okay. Therapy doesn’t require a perfect label to be helpful.
My training and background.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with training in evidence-based therapy approaches, including CBT-informed care.
I’m committed to ongoing learning and thoughtful practice, and I value supervision, consultation, and continued growth as part of my work as a therapist.
My goal is to offer care that is both clinically sound and genuinely responsive to the person sitting across from me.
If you’re thinking about reaching out.
Finding a therapist is a personal decision, and it’s important that it feels right.
If you’re curious about working together, the first step is a consultation. It’s a chance to talk about what’s bringing you in, ask questions, and get a sense of whether my approach feels like a good fit for you.
If it does, we’ll move forward from there. If not, I’m still glad you took the time to explore your options.
