Sarah Barry, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Sarah!

I work with adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, complex family dynamics, major life transitions, and those who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

My focus

My focus is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for clients to be their most authentic selves. Together, we will gain a better understanding of how past and current life experiences impact well-being, and gain real-life skills and strategies to support your personal growth and unique journey to wellness.

My approach

I take a client-centered, compassionate, and insightful approach while integrating evidence-based therapy methods tailored to support you in reaching your unique goals.

My communication style

I create a space of calm and acceptance that allows for greater understanding and clarity. You can expect an attentive and active listener who is conscientious, insightful, and interactive.

My journey to mental healthcare

With over a decade of experience, I've supported individuals from all walks of life. I believe everyone deserves support and that seeking help can be a powerful tool in becoming the best version of yourself.

My goals for you

Together, we will untangle complicated feelings, develop practical skills, and deepen your understanding of how the world around you impacts your wellbeing. We will collaborate to create a plan that reflects your unique goals, values, and hopes for your future.

Our first session

I see my role as being your guide throughout your therapy journey. We'll get to know each other, explore what brought you to therapy, and discuss what to expect from the process. We'll also cover the nature of our therapeutic relationship and address any questions you may have; nothing is off-limits, and there are no wrong questions.
