Sarah Brennan

I work with individuals, couples, and families who are struggling in loud and quiet ways. I have a warm, down-to-earth style and years of experience with a range of issues including trauma, relationship and intimacy difficulties, family conflict, mood disorders, personality disorders, “failure to launch,” and emotional disturbance in kids and teens. Recognizing that insight is sometimes not enough, my approach combines exploration with more active interventions. I have extensive training in psychodynamic, DBT, family systems, play and couples therapy techniques, and carefully tailor treatments to each patient’s needs. In my practice I see adolescents and adults in talk-based psychotherapy, and child patients in play therapy. In addition to conducting psychotherapy, I consult with students and professionals on dissertation, article, and grant writing. I earned my Ph.D. from LIU-Brooklyn; completed an advanced post-doctoral fellowship in the treatment of trauma at Mount Sinai Morningside
