Sarah Kalny (she/her)

I have experience working with clients who have transitioned out of college, new jobs, new homes, and new life roles. This can be a period of stress and even mourning and I am confident in assisting in offering support and guidance through that process.

I have experience with clients managing losses of all varieties. From loss of a loved one, to loss of financial security, losses associated with chronic pain, and loss of relationships. Grief comes in all shapes and sizes and I'm familiar with different ways of offering strategies to manage and sit with the grief each client goes through.

Probably my most familiar and comfortable area of expertise is anxiety. Through a combination of CBT and DBT, I feel very sure of my skills in assisting clients with managing their anxiety symptoms through psychoeducation around coping skills.

DBT has been the main modality that I've used since I entered the field after graduate school. I've utilized all the modules in assisting clients managing their emotions, behaviors, thinking patterns. Due to the structured nature of DBT, I find it particularly helpful for clients who require more guidance and steps to follow in engaging with and implementing new skills.

CBT has been a modality that I incorporate in my practice quite often. Managing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can be so useful for clients managing anxiety and depression. For clients who find homework useful or having specific skills they can engage with can be incredibly helpful for clients following through with skill building and seeing results.
