Sarah Horn (she/her)

I love working with teenagers of all ages. I feel a kinship and have a special affinity for working with middle school aged- teens and the particular issues that come with this difficult phase of life. I also have a lot of familiarity with the public school system and can assist in helping to advocate for your child to get their educational and social-emotional needs met.

I have a great deal of training and experience in unpacking and exploring different aspects of gender identity and sexual orientation. I have worked with clients at many different stages in their journey and have supported them from wherever they are, guiding them to wherever they want to go. I am well-versed with medical intervention treatment options regarding gender identity and have access to a wealth of resources supporting the LGBTQ+ community in different ways.

I have a great deal of personal and professional experience in navigating different kinds of anxiety disorders. I use a combination of CBT, mindfulness, and psychodynamic principles in my approach to understanding and treating anxiety.

Feminist therapy focuses on the challenges that women face as a result of bias, stereotyping, oppression and discrimination and the detrimental impact these forces have on a woman's sense of self-worth, confidence in how she navigates the world, and overall mental wellbeing. I have spent a great deal of time, professionally and personally, unpacking these concepts and unlearning the harmful and untrue messages we internalize as women in the world. I want to help other women to do the same.

Central to the relational therapy approach is the idea that we are shaped by our social world and relationships, and that having good relationships is essential for our wellbeing. The main goal of relational therapy is to examine how one's relationships with others have affected their emotional and mental health. Through this investigation, people can learn new techniques for creating healthier and more fulfilling relationships and a deeper awareness of their relationship patterns.

I have engaged in learning around many different aspects of mindfulness, including an experiential training of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction for therapeutic providers. I believe in the importance of understanding the connection between our minds and our bodies, and in the ongoing practice of learning how to exist in the present moment, while treating ourselves with compassion and radical acceptance.
