Sarah Schieffelin

I’m warm yet direct. I notice subtle shifts, existential themes, and the many ways shame sneaks in. My approach is rooted in being genuine and honest so we can build a real connection. We can care for painful memories without forcing past your walls. It can be hard to share things face-to-face sometimes. So, I share optional, outside-of-session check-in surveys to ensure our work stays meaningful. There can feel like a pressure to share everything right away with therapists. I never want you to feel that here. You don't have to share everything right away and you don't even have to know what your goals are. I’m warm, direct, and highly attuned. I pay close attention to the ways past experiences and patterns show up in the present moment and in relationships, including the therapy relationship itself. Specialties: If you feel anxious, not good enough, or worn down, we might be a good fit. My clients know what it's like to not fit in. How painful life can be. I work well with folks who have felt stuck in therapy in the past. I support people to get better at feeling worse, let go of shame, and build an authentic life.
