Professional statement

Sara Rothstein (she, her), MPS, LCAT, ATR-BC is a licensed creative arts psychotherapist in Brooklyn, NY. She practices in person and virtually. Sara's work values the client's intuition while holding and guiding the work to help make it fruitful. She helps clients build awareness in their bodies to enhance their emotion vocabulary and create interventions for themselves. They might then note the noise and clutter of the mind and feel a more centered approach to living.

Trained as an art therapist at Pratt Institute in 2005, Sara has worked with children, families, and parents ever since. She has also worked with immigrants populations, earning the Taconic Fellowship to support this population through weaving. Sara integrates the arts as a healing modality to help repattern the brain, while incorporating movement, breath and talking as well as other tools, as needed. She assists clients in working through stagnations or life phases. Clients describe Sara as warm and direct. Her work is creative and engaging. Her approaches include attachment history, interpersonal awareness, sense of authentic self, and mind-body awareness.

Sara's office is located in her art and weaving wellness studio in Brooklyn, in the therapy practice called Art of Parenting, which she co-found in 2008. Her psychotherapy practice is for more than parents; we are all children. She is passionate about supporting adults of all ages build awareness and create self-ease as they navigate and find their place in this world.


Message to clients

In therapy with me, you will receive support and we will practice tools and techniques to help you gain insight and start healing from the past. Your personal history may currently affect self-esteem, working, relationships, friendships, parenting, life goals, and more.

Together, with compassion and a healthy dose of humor, we will work in the moment as it is affected by past and early experiences. Using talk therapy and art, as well as trauma-informed approaches, including body work and tapping (EFT), we can explore and process feelings. The work will go at a pace that can be tolerated by you, and you will be challenged with your permission. I hope to provide a safe enough environment for you to bravely learn about yourself and stand in the world with a sense of healthy empowerment and boundaries, with compassion for yourself and others.

In our work together, you will gain insight into your feelings, internal cues, and gain insight to trust yourself and your own intuition to make decisions that are informed and feel right.
