ABOUT ME

Sarah Nickerson, LMHC

I’m so glad you are here!

I consider being a therapist a great privilege and honor. Working through pain and difficulty is never easy, and I have a high respect for those who have decided to courageously face life’s challenges. I truly believe that people have a unique set of strengths and gifts inherent within them. Sometimes, they can be hard to see because of past experiences or a present issue. My goal is to walk alongside and support you, offering a safe place to heal, grow, and discover your true center. I look forward to learning with you!

THERAPY STYLE

Open hands, open heart.

I offer clinical mental health counseling, with an emphasis on spiritual issues (as needed). I have been trained and received certifications in EMDR, CBT, spiritual and trauma-informed care, as well as motivational interviewing. I often utilize humor and expressive arts within therapy, tailoring our work together towards your own unique way of processing.

I specialize in spiritual integration and religious-based trauma across many faiths. I particularly love working with clients at the intersection between spirituality, culture, and mental health. I create a warm, compassionate space for us to explore what is meaningful to you with open hands.

Working Together

I am currently taking on new clients located in both New York and New Jersey. At this time, all appointments are virtual with the possibility of in-person visits in the future.

Reflections from Clients

With no exaggeration, working with Sarah is the best decision I’ve ever made in my life. For over 5 years, she’s given me the tools, language, and space to grow into a healthier and more centered version of myself. She is insightful, empathetic, gentle, curious, and most of all — human.
