Sarah T. Lipshy, M.A., LMFT #143263

I provide an optimistic, warm, and nurturing  perspective in my practice. I see the opportunity to facilitate healing  and growth as a privilege, and I am excited to work with my clients in  order to make a positive difference in their lives. I help clients  ground in the here and now, creating a reparative new experience where  they feel seen, understood, and trusted. 

In  my work with children and adolescents, I collaborate with  psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, teachers, educational specialists,  and parents to create a network of support that facilitates growth in  every area of a young person’s life. I take care to help children and  adolescents identify their feelings and put words to them, growing  confidence, resilience, and the understanding that they can face life’s  challenges. I also specialize in play therapy, joining a child’s world  with curiosity and an open mind to promote interpersonal development,  cognitive skills, flexibility, memory, problem solving, coping skills,  and emotional healing.

When  working with parents, I strive to bring awareness to the present  moment, providing effective conflict resolution, stress management, and  improved communication. I explore themes of reflection and attunement  while respecting parenting styles. I also offer ongoing 12 week,  evidence-based reflective parenting groups which cover parenting themes  such as attachment, separation and the development of independence, play  and parental involvement, discipline, etc. 

If my approach resonates with you, I offer a free 15 minute consultation.
