Sara Steigman

Do you feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, OCD, or fear you can’t break on your own? Many people I work with feel worn out from trying to manage intrusive thoughts, panic, or phobias on their own. I support children, teens, and adults navigating OCD, social anxiety, phobias, panic disorder, and other anxiety-related concerns. My clients want to feel more in control, more present, and less overwhelmed. They want practical tools, meaningful progress, and a therapist who understands the realities of anxiety and OCD. I use a straightforward, evidence-based approach tailored to each person. My work is rooted in CBT and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), with ACT and DBT integrated as helpful. Together, we’ll identify what’s getting in the way, build effective skills, and face what anxiety has allowed you to avoid. Therapy works best when you feel understood, safe, and supported, so I aim to create a space where you can show up as you are. I am direct when needed, gentle when helpful, and always collaborative. If you are ready or even just curious, I would be honored to support you as you build a meaningful and values-driven life.
