About Sara
Sara Newman is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. She focuses on relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes. She also helps people navigate money and financial issues alongside divorce, infidelity, and parenting stress.
Sara approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She adapts conversations and plans to fit the situation in front of her rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. Her work often includes practical steps and clear goals to help people move forward.
Clients can expect a down-to-earth style that balances emotional support with concrete tools. She uses methods from client-centered therapy to keep the session focused on the person's needs. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and on solution-focused strategies to set achievable short-term goals.
Across years of practice she has supported people through trauma responses, postpartum mood shifts, narcissistic dynamics, and midlife transitions. She also addresses adoption and foster care concerns, blended family stress, caregiver burnout, and jealousy or abandonment worries. Money and financial issues are one of the areas she will talk through as part of broader life and relationship work.
