Sara Parente is a licensed clinical social worker with 12+ years of experience working with youth, adolescents, and adults. She believes in taking the time to get to know each client and their needs. There must be a strong foundation of trust and rapport before true therapeutic work can begin. 

Sara believes in implementing many different therapy modalities. She has worked in behavioral health programs, school settings, and intensive in-home services before moving into private practice.  Sara spent time living in Nicaragua and working in a nonprofit, which taught her the importance of creating space to learn about other cultural perspectives and life experiences within the therapeutic relationship. 

Sara is a 300hr yoga teacher, certified in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, and EMDR trained. She draws from these practices to support the therapeutic process.  Sara’s experiences have shaped her practice and approach to working with people by humbling her, challenging her, and reminding her that there is no one-size-fits-all in mental health; this work is an ongoing art form that requires constant learning and growth.
