Sara freeman, MA

Mental Health Therapist in Greater Boston, MA

Hi! My name is Sara and I work with adult individuals and couples. I view therapy as a rich and collaborative space of self-exploration. Together, we can uncover patterns that no longer serve you and begin to practice more actualized ways of being yourself and relating to others.

I approach sessions with a mix of warmth, curiosity, and precision. l draw from existential therapy, psychodynamic therapy, family systems therapy, and emotionally focused therapy. In short, I believe that the challenges in our lives are shaped by our pasts and our earliest attachment bonds, and that we heal through our relationships and new emotional experiences. I also borrow from mindfulness and expressive arts practices. Most importantly, I am here to learn from you, and discover the therapy that fits your particular needs and strengths. 

My clinical experience and interests include working with depression, anxiety, ADHD, perinatal mental health, women's health, life transitions, intersectional identities, immigration and acculturation, career changes, and grief and loss. I love helping emerging adults navigate the transition to college or the workforce, and the complexities of forging a sense of self beyond their families of origin. I also enjoy working with writers, artists, and academics. 

I am interested in meeting with couples who are looking to work through past hurts and are longing to connect more deeply with themselves and each other. I am comfortable working with all types of romantic partnerships, including non-traditional relationship structures, LGBTQ+ clients, and cross-cultural couples. 

Finally, I welcome anyone who wants to feel more like themselves and find their footing in our uncertain world.
