Do you offer in-person therapy? Where is your office located?

Yes. In-person therapy is available by appointment in Fair Lawn, NJ (Bergen County). Our office serves clients from nearby communities, including Paramus, Glen Rock, Teaneck, Bergenfield, New Milford, Englewood, Clifton, Passaic, and surrounding areas. We also offer telehealth for clients anywhere in New Jersey and New York.

Who do you work with?

We work with older adolescents, college students, young adults, and parents who are navigating growth, identity, academic and social pressures, life transitions, and executive functioning challenges. Whether you’re preparing for college, struggling with anxiety, launching into adulthood, or supporting your child through a changing season, therapy can help you build clarity and resilience.

What challenges do you support?

Clients seek support for:

• Anxiety, stress, and overwhelm

• Depression and mood changes

• ADHD & executive functioning

• School or college transitions

• Identity development

• Social and academic pressure

• Parent–child dynamics

• Navigating neurodivergence

We focus on empowering clients to build skills that help them thrive, not just cope.

Do you specialize in ADHD or executive functioning support?

Yes. Dr. Sarah provides evidence-based ADHD and executive functioning therapy for teens, college students, and young adults. Sessions focus on building practical tools, developing self-awareness, and strengthening systems that lead to real-world success—not just academic performance, but life, identity, and independence.

What does a neurodivergent-affirming approach mean?

It means we don’t treat neurodivergence (such as ADHD, autism, or processing differences) as something to “fix.” Instead, we work with a client’s strengths, build strategies that fit their brain, and support identity development without shame, stigma, or attempts to force “normal.”

What happens in the first session?

We get to know each other and define what you’re working toward. You’ll share what brings you here, what you want for yourself (or your teen), and what’s been getting in the way. We’ll begin setting initial goals and choosing strategies that match your pace and personality.

How long does therapy take?

Every client’s needs are unique. Some move toward actionable goals in just a few months; others benefit from longer-term work, especially during major transitions (e.g., starting college or adjusting to ADHD strategies). Together, we regularly assess progress and adjust frequency based on your growth.

Is therapy private for teens? Are parents involved?

Privacy builds trust. Teen sessions are confidential, and together we clarify what will be shared with parents. When relevant, parents may be involved to support behavior, transitions, or executive functioning systems at home. We always protect the teen’s voice and therapeutic goals.

Do you offer support for parents?

Yes. We work with parents seeking coaching and guidance for:

• Supporting teens through school or college transitions

• ADHD and executive functioning at home

• Emotional regulation and anxiety dynamics

• Neurodivergent-affirming parenting

Sessions help parents feel more confident, strategic, and connected.

Do you take insurance?

We work with select insurance plans in New Jersey and New York, and some clients choose private pay for increased privacy, flexibility, and control over their care. We’re happy to help you explore your options and answer questions—send a message to get started.

Can my college student continue therapy while away at school?

If your student is attending college in New York or New Jersey, telehealth allows therapy to continue seamlessly—even if they travel between home and school. Many families choose this to maintain continuity during stress-heavy academic years.

How do I know if therapy is right for me (or my teen)?

If you (or your teen) are feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, struggling to manage school pressures, or unsure how to navigate transitions, therapy can help. Many clients begin long before there’s a “crisis”—and that’s often when the most growth can happen.

Do you work with young adults who are already launched or working?

Yes. Many young adults seek therapy to navigate work stress, independence, relationships, identity development, or changing family dynamics. Therapy helps clarify who you’re becoming and how to build a life aligned with your values and strengths.

How do I get started?
