SARAH ACOSTA
LCMHCA

 Where you become vulnerable, you find your strength. I believe the therapeutic relationship is integral to therapy and the motivation for change. I am dedicated to providing a safe space with an emphasis on being genuine, providing non-judgmental empathy, and unconditional positive regard.

​I work with pre-teens (11+), teens, and adults dealing with a variety of concerns including:  depression, anxiety, behavioral concerns, Bipolar disorder, ADHD,  anger, coping skills, mood disorders, stress, peer relationship issues, OCD, divorce, phase of life issues, conflict, grief, racial identity, gender/sexuality, LGBTQ+ issues, and self-harm.  

I am an in-network provider for all BCBS, Cigna and Aetna plans. 

APPROACH
I use an integrative approach where I tailor sessions to your needs drawing from evidenced-base treatments such as dialectical behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, person-centered therapy, attachment-based therapy, mindful-based practices, and psychoanalysis.
