Counseling Intern

Sarah Sultan

I'm passionate about guiding individuals toward self-discovery, resilience, and personal growth. My approach is rooted in a person-centered philosophy, tailoring each therapeutic experience to my clients' unique needs and abilities.

My Therapeutic Approach

My approach is built on the foundation of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These evidence-based approaches allow me to help clients:

  • Identify and reshape negative thought patterns

  • Develop effective coping strategies

  • Enhance stress management skills

  • Improve emotional regulation

  • Strengthen interpersonal relationships

Building Trust and Understanding

I believe that the cornerstone of effective therapy is a strong therapeutic alliance. To build rapport, I prioritize:

  • Active listening

  • Showing genuine interest in each client's unique story

  • Creating a safe, non-judgmental space for open dialogue

Specialties and Experience

My professional journey has equipped me with specialized experience in working with:

  • Children with autism, ADHD, and ODD

  • Children and adolescents dealing with attachment issues and trauma

  • Parents navigating the challenges of raising children with special needs

While I have extensive experience with younger populations, I'm excited to expand my practice to work more with adults, bringing the same dedication and person-centered approach to this demographic.
