Sarah DeSantis, LCSW
My Approach
In therapy with me, I take a reflective and practical approach. I listen, understand, and explore your experience while staying grounded in evidence-based treatment. Often, the patterns causing distress once served a purpose and together we can reshape them into healthier, more sustainable ways of moving forward.
Areas of Focus
Anxiety & Panic Disorders
Chronic worry, social anxiety, intrusive thoughts, overthinking, and panic attacks.
Disordered Eating & Eating Disorders
Restriction, binge eating, emotional eating, body image distress, and rebuilding a healthier relationship with food.
Perfectionism & Self-Worth
High standards that feel impossible to meet, imposter syndrome, fear of failure, and difficulty feeling “good enough.”
Coping with Chronic Illness
Navigating the emotional toll of long-term medical conditions, health anxiety, and identity shifts.
Why Work With Me?
In addition to my private practice, I have worked within higher levels of care for eating disorders and other mental health struggles, providing treatment to individuals navigating complex and long-standing challenges. This experience allows me to approach therapy with both clinical depth and practical insight.
​
Whether your anxiety feels constant and overwhelming or your relationship with food feels complicated and frustrating, you deserve care that is thoughtful, individualized, and grounded in experience.
