I'm Sarah, LCSW (she/her), with a background in anti-poverty, child welfare, and family systems work. Much of my professional experience includes supporting individuals and families navigating financial stress, caregiving roles, system involvement, and intergenerational challenges. I often work with young people and adults who are feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or disconnected while seeking stability, advocacy, and more sustainable paths forward for themselves and their families. 

My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and systems-aware. I draw from family systems and strengths-based frameworks, centering safety, collaboration, and self- and community-care. I help clients reflect on patterns, navigate complex systems, and build practical tools rooted in their values and lived experience. 

So many people arrive in therapy carrying stress shaped by systems, relationships, and responsibility. I work to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and encouraged to take the next step at your own pace. 

I am Julie Lerner, a Licensed Psychotherapist with over 10 years of clinical experience offering in-person weekly sessions to adults ages 25–65. I specialize in working with folks navigating gender identity, sexuality, trauma, anxiety, and depression.

I have had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds and intersectional identities with a wide range of lived experiences, diagnoses, sexual orientations, and gender identities.

My work is grounded in Humanistic and Existential Theories and integrates Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Solution-Focused Therapy, DBT, and CBT. I offer a collaborative, trauma-informed approach that is tailored to each person. Clients often describe my style as warm, grounded, and gently direct.

I aim to create a space where you can slow down, show up as you are, and feel supported in making sense of what feels difficult or unclear. Therapy with me is collaborative and steady, and I strive to meet you with care as we work through what brings you in. I would be honored to work with you if it feels like a good fit.
