Sarah Rafik Botrus, LMFT

My clients describe me as:

Compassionate, direct, and sassy. I create an environment where you feel understood and what you are going through is normalized.

Something to know about my approach is:

I work collaboratively with my clients to create a safe and supportive environment where we can explore difficult emotions and experiences. I have a psychodynamic approach paired with a film background so that we may explore creatively together.

Together, we will:

Explore your unconscious conflicts and behavior patterns in the therapeutic relationship that may be contributing to current struggles and work through them to create long-lasting change.

I specialize in working with people who:

Creative professionals struggling with the depression and the overwhelm of life. Those who find meaning and connection in art and film, but feel as though others don't get them. If that's you, I want to work with you.

I became a therapist because:

I understand what it is like to be in pain & not know what is wrong. I am curious about the human condition & I love working with people one-on-one.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I offer a place where you can feel relief from the pain you are going through.
