Sarah Westbay

Sarah Westbay, MSED, MHC-LP is a dedicated and authentic therapist who takes an empowering, collaborative approach to care. She earned her Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Fordham University. Having previously worked in sales and recruiting, Sarah possesses a firsthand understanding of the pressures of high-demand corporate environments. She draws on this experience to support clients navigating professional burnout, work-related stress, and the challenges of maintaining a sustainable work-life balance.

Sarah works with both individuals and couples providing a high-feedback, autonomous environment where clients are respected as the experts of their own lives. She works with clients navigating depression, anxiety, family issues, relationship problems, grief and trauma, tailoring every treatment plan to the individual’s unique needs. Her practice is a specialized space for those navigating catastrophizing anxiety, thought rumination, and the weight of a harsh inner critic. Using Emotions-Focused interventions, she helps clients build deep emotional literacy, gaining clarity on the challenging parts of their lives.

Sarah’s therapeutic style is integrative blending Psychodynamic, Narrative, and Feminist therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She also incorporates somatic interventions and body awareness to bridge the gap between mind and body. In her work around body image, she follows the Health at Every Size (HAES) framework, promoting resilience and body acceptance. Sarah provides gender-affirming care and is passionate about supporting the LGBTQIA+ community, including those exploring identity and self-acceptance. Her practice is a validating and compassionate space for transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse individuals.  

Outside of her clinical work, Sarah enjoys yoga, music, astrology, reading, board games, attending comedy shows, and spending time with friends and family.
