  • About Sarah Linder

    LCSW-R, EMDR Certified, ADHD-CCSP

    (she/her)

    No matter what background, it seems that everyone is searching for some peace and happiness in their lives and for many different reasons they have become stuck in trying to figure out how to accomplish this goal.

    I specialize in ADHD evaluations and treatment for all ages, OCD and Anxiety in children, and EMDR for all ages. While I specialize in children and adolescents about 50% of my caseload at any given time is comprised of adults over 18.

    Throughout my education and career I have focused on a speciality in children, adolescents and families. I was raised with a heart for compassion and understanding and a natural ability to tune into other people’s emotions. I would love to help you harness your own strengths and hopefully release any barriers present that keeps you from your goals.

    Some things about me that might matter to you: I’m a LGBTQ+ ally, anti-racist, earth-loving, animal protecting, meditating, secular therapist. And with that said, do I always get it right? No! I strive to put my therapeutic beliefs into action in my own life (imperfectly!), which I believe leads to authenticity in my work with people. 

    In my spare time I enjoy walking my 3 rescue dogs (not all at once!), listening to music, reading, painting, watching a funny show, and connecting with family and friends.

    EMDR Certified Therapist

    Why should EMDRIA certification matter to you?

    An EMDRIA Certified Therapist™ has engaged in at least 20 hours of consultation with an EMDRIA Approved Consultant™ for EMDR and has practiced their skills with at least 25 different clients in at least 50 EMDR sessions. An EMDRIA Certified Therapist™ has voluntarily met standards of consultation, clinical practice, and continuing education to provide EMDR therapy. An EMDRIA Certified Therapist™ is committed to fulfill ethical standards and is engaged in continuing education. To maintain this certification, a therapist must continue to satisfy the EMDRIA requirement including completion of continuing education requirements and adherence to ethical standards.
