Real therapy. Real change. Real life.
I believe therapy is a partnership. It matters who you chose to be your partner. With me, you will feel heard and truly seen.
My approach is simple, even if the work isn't: show up real, make a genuine connection, and meet people exactly where they are.
I utilize a variety of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and EMDR, to provide tailored support that meets your goals.
Areas of Specialization
Complex parenting
Solo Marriage Therapy
You love your child deeply. And you're also burnt out, exhausted, and running on fumes — and that's okay to admit. Raising a neurodivergent or complex child is hard in ways that are difficult to explain to people who haven't lived it. It can be lonely. The strategies you're handed don't work, the well-meaning advice misses the mark, and the weight of it all can leave you feeling judged, depleted, and lost.This is a space for you. Not for your child — for you. I don't hand out generic parenting tips. I help you untangle the stress, process the grief and frustration that often come with this journey, and build real, personalized tools that fit your family. Together we'll work on banishing the guilt, managing the burnout, and strengthening your confidence — so you can be the parent you know you can be.
Your marriage is struggling, and you're exhausted from carrying it. Maybe your partner refuses to set foot in a therapist's office. Maybe you've tried couples therapy and found yourself wondering, is this as good as it gets? Maybe you're not sure whether to stay — but you know something has to change.Here's the good news: you don't have to wait for your partner to change to start feeling better. Solo marital therapy works on a powerful truth — when you shift how you show up in a relationship, the dynamic between you shifts too. Together we'll work on finding your voice again, building boundaries that actually hold, and rediscovering a sense of self and a daily life that feels worth living — whatever you ultimately decide about your marriage.You showed up. You don't have to put your life on hold while you figure the rest out. And that's enough to start.
Life Transitions
Treatment of ARFID
Life is rarely as neat as we plan for it to be. Some transitions are expected — a child leaving home, a job ending, a relationship evolving. Others catch us completely off guard — a divorce, a loss, a moment where everything you thought you knew about yourself shifts. Expected or not, transitions can leave us feeling unmoored, uncertain, and unsure of what comes next.I work with people navigating all of it. Career changes, relationship shifts, grief, identity, becoming a parent, launching into independence, retirement — the full, messy spectrum of being human. Together we'll slow down, unpack what's happening, and find clarity about what might look good for you on the other side — and build a path to get there.
If your child is an extremely selective eater — and you've been told they'll "grow out of it" or just need to "try harder" — you may already know it's more complicated than that. ARFID, or Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, is a recognized condition in which eating is limited by sensory sensitivities, fears around food safety, or low interest in eating altogether. It has nothing to do with willpower, stubbornness, or bad parenting.I work with children ages 10 and up — and their parents — using CBT for ARFID, an evidence-based treatment designed to gently shift the thoughts and behaviors that keep someone stuck. The approach is gradual and completely non-judgmental. There is no pressure to eat anything before a person is ready. Parents are active partners in the process, bringing the work into everyday life at home. The goal is to reduce anxiety around food, build flexibility at a manageable pace, and make mealtimes feel less overwhelming — for your child and for your whole family.
Sustained Recovery
Getting clean or sober takes enormous courage. And then, often quietly, the harder part begins. The substance is no longer there to numb, distract, or cope — and what's left can feel overwhelming. Who am I now? What do I actually want? How do I handle the anxiety, the relationships, the boundaries, without reaching for the thing that used to make it easier?This is the work I do. I support adults who are in recovery but still finding their way — sorting through the anxiety and uncertainty, learning to set boundaries that hold, and building a sense of self and a life that feels genuinely worth showing up for. Because sobriety is the foundation. But a life you don't want to escape from? That's the goal.
Meet Your Practitioner
Sara Victor, LCSW
I have spent nearly 20 years walking alongside people through some of life's most challenging moments — and I believe that the right support can make all the difference. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I bring a grounded, real, and deeply human approach to therapy. I earned my undergraduate degree from Clark University and my MSW from Fordham University, and have built my career across healthcare settings, working with those living with chronic illness, and at Silver Hill Hospital before establishing my private practice nearly 14 years ago.
Finding the right therapist matters — and I want you to get a real sense of who I am. I work with teens and adults, and I have a particular passion for supporting parents who are raising neurodivergent or otherwise complex kids — because that work is hard, and those parents deserve a space too. I also work with individuals navigating life transitions, sustained addiction recovery, and couples through solo marital therapy. I facilitate social skills groups as a certified provider of the PEERS® program — an evidence-based, caregiver-assisted social skills training program originally developed at UCLA.
My approach draws on a range of evidence-based modalities, including CBT, DBT, EMDR, and CBT for ARFID, tailored to what each person actually needs. But what guides me most is the person sitting across from me. I show up as myself — with honesty, warmth, and a genuine commitment to helping you move forward — and I invite you to do the same.
