CLINICAL TRAINING
DR.

These training sites offered Dr. Sarah the unique experience of working with individuals and their families to overcome mental health problems and other significant family issues. This approach is unique, since traditional psychological training has typically been individual-oriented. Her extensive training in systems theory and family therapy has distinguished her as an expert in couples and family therapy, and approaching problems that seem individualistic at first glance, from a holistic perspective.
