Professional statement

Sarah Ouellette is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Providence, Rhode Island with specialties in treating depression, anxiety, substance use, and family support for parents of transgender children.

Sarah has a particular passion for helping families who are navigating the changes and challenges that can come with gender transition.

Sarah’s expertise in supporting families of transgender youth stems from her clinical work at Hasbro Hospital’s Medical Psychiatric Unit.

Message to clients

My approach is supportive and compassionate and I believe the foundation to successful therapy begins with establishing a trusting relationship between the therapist and the client. I work with people of all ages and I specialize in treating people with depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, and trauma and specialize in working with parents and families of adolescents and children struggling with eating disorders and transgender issues. I use CBT and DBT strategies to help individuals to make desired changes in their lives. I work with couples seeking to improve their relationships.
