Dr. Sarah Weintraub is a licensed psychologist with over 10 years of clinical experience. She has enjoyed working in a variety of clinical and academic settings, including college counseling, community mental health, and in hospital outpatient services. Dr. Weintraub's approach is active, compassionate, and relational. She values authenticity in the therapy process and incorporates irreverence and humor when it makes sense. Dr. Weintraub balances a focus on the present with a focus on the past, acknowledging that our relationships and experiences across the lifespan affect our beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world, more broadly.
Dr. Weintraub values researched-based strategies that reduce distress, increase active coping, and help you take steps that are in line with your values. Towards that end, she incorporates cognitive-behavioral (CBT) and acceptance-based strategies, including mindfulness and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) techniques. As clinically indicated, Dr. Weintraub offers trauma-focused treatment options, including cognitive processing therapy (CPT). She values cultural humility and a feminist understanding that we all exist in structures that privilege some and exclude others based on experiences of race, class, gender, sexuality, and ability.
Areas of special interest include anxiety and depression; trauma and post traumatic stress; grief and loss; relationship concerns; identity development and issues of race, class, gender, and sexuality; and veterans' experiences. In addition to her private practice, Dr. Weintraub supervises psychology doctoral students and provides outpatient psychotherapy at a local hospital.
