LGBTQIA+ Affirming therapy for all of Pennsylvania

Sarah Roberts, LCSW, offers experienced and modern affirming therapy for adults, online in Pennsylvania. Sarah (she/they) offers therapy for life transitions, self esteem, anxiety, gender and sexuality related topics, and religious and spiritual exploration. She has extensive experience working with LGBTQIA people, as well as neurodivergent individuals. They bring humor, politics, pop culture, philosophy, and whatever else clients wish to discuss to the session. Sarah has lived in a variety of places across the U.S. and particularly enjoys working with transplants and those missing home.

Sarah is a licensed clinical social worker, and also works in a local hospital. She finds working with other healthcare professional particularly rewarding. She worked in a local ICU before and during the peak of the COVID 19 pandemic, and personally understands the sacrifices made by healthcare workers.

They particularly enjoy working with people experiencing disability and chronic illness. She has experienced her own struggles with serious health issues, which gives her special insight and compassion.

Sarah is not afraid to bring a little personal narrative into the therapy session, if it benefits the clients. Much of what clients share in therapy is personal and sometimes, our true thoughts and feelings are hard to put into words. Sarah finds that sharing some about herself helps her clients feel less analyzed, and more heard. It also can be helpful to find the words we are searching for when another person shares a similar experience and then asks us reflective questions about our own experiences. This also serves as a model for the healthy dance between letting others know us, and keeping some personal details to ourselves, aka, boundaries.

If you like a therapist who isn’t afraid to admit they don’t know everything, likes to laugh, is professional, warm, serious when needed, and ready to talk pop culture and politics, Sarah is the therapist for you!

know me

Sarah Roberts, LCSW, is a clinical social worker, cat mom, and therapist based in Pittsburgh, PA. Sarah enjoys working with people facing life transitions, young adults, women, non binary, trans, and LGBTQIA+ people of all ages and backgrounds. Sarah has extensive experience working with LGBTQIA+ people and identifies as part of the community.

Sarah utilizes a mix of feminist, acceptance and commitment, and existential approaches. Sarah likes to laugh, talk politics and pop culture, and probably drop a few curse words in session. She enjoys exploring religiosity and spirituality with people of all backgrounds and faiths.

Sarah feels honored to learn about life from the perspective of the people she works with and the personal experiences and perspective each person brings to the session.

Sarah understands that often, people in therapy are up against larger systems; systems of power like sexism, racism, poverty, homophobia, or smaller systems, like the workplace or family. Therapy cannot undo these larger problems, but we can try to learn ways to minimize the damage to ourselves and enact our values.

Therapy can help us find the internal strength to have hope, courage, and make the changes we want to see in the world.

It takes courage to be who you are today, now more than ever.

Sarah grew up in the South, moved to the west coast as a very young woman, and then again to Pittsburgh for graduate school. They enjoy gardening, making pizza, baking, spending time with their spouse, and fighting their two curious cats for the last bite of food.
