About

Sarah Kahn, Psy.D.

I am a holistic, mindful, and creative therapist. I see therapy as a sacred process through which clients reveal and reflect on the numerous facets of themselves, within the context of a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. While growth can feel taxing and uncomfortable at times, it can also be fun. I like to incorporate humor and play into sessions, which offers another point of view and creates balance.

During your journey, you may confront aspects of yourself that you do not like; Jungian theory refers to these parts as your shadow. Together, we can shine a light into the darkness, become more acquainted with it, understand its’ purpose, and discover your suppressed gifts. As we explore, I will encourage you to take an active role in your therapeutic process, challenge you to move beyond your comfort zone, and provide you with honest reflection and a compassionate heart.

My therapeutic approach is based on Gestalt therapy, which focuses on an individual's experience in the present moment, the therapist-client relationship, the environmental and social contexts of a person's life, and the self-regulating adjustments people make as a result of their overall situation. It is a holistic and experiential form of psychotherapy, which incorporates aspects of: depth psychology, attachment, cognitive, and relational therapies, health psychology, social psychology, art therapy, and mindfulness. The objective of gestalt therapy is to enable a client to be more fully and creatively alive, release the blocks and unfinished business that interfere with satisfaction, fulfillment and growth, and to experiment with new ways of being.
