Meeting Young People Where They Are

Sarah Carey, MSW, LICSW

Sarah Carey is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Massachusetts who brings compassionate expertise to helping young people navigate life's challenges. She specializes in working with children, adolescents, and young adults who struggle with ADHD, anxiety, depression, and behavioral issues, providing a nurturing environment where they can explore their emotions, build resilience, and develop effective coping strategies.

"I know what it's like for young people to feel misunderstood. Their experiences matter, and they deserve support that fits. I meet them where they are with genuine understanding."

With experience in diverse settings, from community-based programs to specialized educational environments, Sarah has developed tailored therapeutic interventions for young individuals. Her approach emphasizes fostering a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship that empowers clients to navigate challenges with real, practical tools.

She uses evidence-based practices including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and trauma-informed care adapted to how developing minds work. You'll get concrete tools that work in real life: emotion regulation skills, ADHD-friendly systems, and strategies to quiet the inner critic. Most importantly, your child will learn they don't have to navigate this alone.
