Sara Chastain

Licensed Certified Social Worker

Big Emotions. Real Support. Lasting Change.

Whether your're an adult feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, ADHD, or life transitions or you have a child who is struggling with big emotions and behaviors, Sara provides a compassionate, structured, and deeply understanding space to help clients feel supported, empowered, and capable of change.

Sara is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over seven years of experience working with both children and adults facing emotional, behavioral, and mental health challenges. She specializes in supporting school-aged children, adolescents, and adults navigating ADHD, neurodiversity, anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional dysregulation, and behavioral concerns.

Sara believes behavior is communication — not character. Her approach focuses on understanding the “why” beneath emotions and behaviors while helping clients build healthier coping skills, emotional awareness, confidence, and resilience.

Helping Children Thrive

Sara has extensive experience working with children in both clinical and school-based settings. She has helped many kids who struggle with emotional regulation, impulsivity, defiance, anxiety, social challenges, and behavioral outbursts. She partners closely with families to create practical strategies that support growth, both at home and at school.

Her work incorporates:

  • Play Therapy

  • Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)

  • Conscious Discipline

  • Emotional Regulation Skills

  • Trauma-Informed Behavioral Interventions

Through connection, structure, and emotional safety, Sara helps children develop confidence, self-awareness, and healthier ways to express and manage emotions.

Supporting Adults Through Life’s Hard Seasons

Sara also works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional overwhelm, identity development, burnout, ADHD, relationship struggles, and major life transitions. Her therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in helping clients feel understood without judgment.

Together, clients work toward:

  • Improved emotional regulation

  • Healthier relationships and boundaries

  • Increased self-understanding

  • Trauma recovery and healing

  • Greater confidence and stability in daily life

Sara is passionate about creating a space where both children and adults feel safe, seen, and genuinely supported. Her goal is to help clients and families move beyond survival mode and toward lasting emotional wellness, connection, and growth.
