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.
