Mental Health Counselor
Hello! I’m Sarah Tucker, an Individual and Couples Therapist at New Directions Shadyside. I have been working in the counseling field doing peer support, group therapy, and individual therapy since 2020. Since graduating with my Masters in Clinical Mental Health I have been providing individual therapy for adults and adolescents. I specialize in LGBTQ+ therapy, relationship issues, religious trauma, Complex PTSD, eating disorders, ADHD, and more! My approach draws from psychodynamic, CBT, and Narrative therapy, allowing me to meet each person with curiosity and compassion.
In therapy, we will work together to create a plan that fits your needs. I may use journaling, workbooks, and somatic tools to help you process and feel more connected to yourself. Through therapeutic work, community support, and grounding, my goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and confident moving forward, no matter what you are going through.
Our relationship with ourselves is the most important one we will ever have, yet it is often the one we overlook. We all feel sad, anxious, lost, lonely at times. Reaching out for help is sometimes the best and bravest thing you can do. Whatever part of your journey you are on, I would be honored to be part of it and discover where we can go together.
